As individual fingers we can easily be broken, but all together we make a mighty fist.

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.

Now that we are poor, we are free. No white man controls our footsteps.

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

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.

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.

If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place. He put in your heart certain wishes and plans, and in my heart he put other and different desires. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
