Hear 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.

I am here by the will of the Great Spirit, and by his will I am chief.

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

For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity.

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

I want to tell you that if the Great Spirit had chosen anyone to be the chief of this country, it is myself.

If a man loses anything and goes back and looks carefully for it, he will find it.
