The Great Spirit will not make me suffer because I am ignorant. He will put me in a place where I shall be better off than in this world.

The white man has got the gold out of the land which belonged to the red man.

I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love.

The whites, who are educated and civilized, swindle me, and I am not hard to swindle because I do not know how to read and write.

We do not want riches, we want peace and love.

The Great Spirit will not make me suffer because I am ignorant. He will put me in a place where I shall be better off than in this world.

You whites make all the ammunition.
