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

It does not take many words to tell the truth

If we must die, we die defending our rights.

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.

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

This nation is like a spring freshet; it overruns its banks and destroys all who are in its path.

First kill me before you take possession of my Fatherland.
