What does it matter how long I pray, so long as my prayers are answered?

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows. Now we are poor but we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights.

I have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace.

If we must die, we die defending our rights.

Our religion seems foolish to you, but so does yours to me. The Baptists and Methodists and Presbyterians and the Catholics all have a different God. Why cannot we have one of our own?

Every seed is awakened, and all animal life.

What white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.
