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

Go back home where you came from. This country is mine, and I intend to stay here and to raise this country full of grown people.

If I agree to dispose of any part of our land to the white people I would feel guilty of taking food away from our children's mouths, and I do not wish to be that mean.

I was very sorry when I found out that your intentions were good and not what I supposed they were.

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.

You think I am a fool, but you are a greater fool than I am.

I know Great Spirit is looking down upon me from above, and will hear what I say.
