Every seed is awakened, and all animal life.
In my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly.
I have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace.
What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one.
I am a red man. If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place.
The life my people want is a life of freedom. I have seen nothing that a white man has, houses or railways or clothing or food, that is as good as the right to move in the open country and live in our fashion.
