Each man is good in His sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.

Healthy feet can feel the very heart of Mother Earth.

Only seven years ago we made a treaty by which we were assured that the buffalo country should be left to us forever. Now they threaten to take that from us also.

Inside of me there are two dogs. One is mean and evil and the other is good and they fight each other all the time. When asked which one wins I answer, the one I feed the most.

What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one.

Therefore, I do not wish to consider any proposition to cede any portion of our tribal holdings to the Great Father.

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.
