What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.
Sitting BullI 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.
Sitting BullHear me people: We have now to deal with another race - small and feeble when our fathers first met them, but now great and overbearing. Strangely enough they have a mind to till the soil and the love of possession is a disease with them. These people have made many rules that the rich may break but the poor may not. They take their tithes from the poor and weak to support the rich and those who rule.
