I became the leader because of my father's leadership and I was considered as powerful as same as my own father.

I suppose the half-breeds in Manitoba, in 1870, did not fight for two hundred forty acres of land, but it is to be understood there were two societies who treated together. One was small, but in its smallness it had its rights. The other was great, but in its greatness it had no greater rights than the rights of the small, because the right is the same for everyone.

My people will sleep for one hundred years, but when they awake, it will be the artists who give them their spirit back.

We must cherish our inheritance. We must preserve our nationality for the youth of our future. The story should be written down to pass on.

People consider me more as hero. Apparently they like the way I stand up, for myself and give my opinion. The french speaking people weren't much of a person like me.

I know that through the grace of God, I am the founder of Manitoba.
