Our People Could Not Talk

Words Do Not Pay For My Dead People.

I Will Obey Every Law, Or Submit To The Penalty.

I Am Ready To Talk Today. I Have Been In A Great Many Councils, But I Am No Wiser. We Are All Sprung From A Woman, Although We Are Unlike In Many Things. We Can Not Be Made Over Again. You Are As You Were Made, And As You Were Made You Can Remain. We Are Just As We Were Made By The Great Spirit, And You Can Not Change Us ; Then Why Should Children Of One Mother And One Father Quarrel ? — Why Should One Try To Cheat The Other ? I Do Not Believe That The Great Spirit Chief Gave One Kind Of Men The Right To Tell Another Kind Of Men What They Must Do.

We Soon Found That The White Men Were Growing Rich Very Fast, And Were Greedy.

Whenever The White Man Treats The Indian As They Treat Each Other Then We Shall Have No More Wars. We Shall Be All Alike - Brothers Of One Father And Mother, With One Sky Above Us And One Country Around Us And One Government For All. Then The Great Spirit Chief Who Rules Above Will Smile Upon This Land And Send Rain To Wash Out The Bloody Spots Made By Brothers' Hands Upon The Face Of The Earth. For This Time The Indian Race Is Waiting And Praying. I Hope No More Groans Of Wounded Men And Women Will Ever Go To The Ear Of The Great Spirit Chief Above, And That All People May Be One People.
