We Had A Great Many

We Had A Great Many Horses, Of Which We Gave Lewis And Clark What They Needed, And They Gave Us Guns And Tobacco In Return.

Governor Isaac Stevens Of The Washington Territory Said There Were A Great Many White People In Our Country, And Many More Would Come; That He Wanted The Land Marked Out So That The Indians And The White Man Could Be Separated.

I Know That My Race Must Change. We Cannot Hold Our Own With The White Men As We Are. We Only Ask An Even Chance To Live As Other Men Live. We Ask To Be Recognized As Men. We Ask That The Same Law Shall Work Alike On All Men. If An Indian Breaks The Law, Punish Him By The Law. If A White Man Breaks The Law, Punish Him Also.

The Earth Is The Mother Of All People, And All People Should Have Equal Rights Upon It.

I Am Tired Of Talk That Comes To Nothing.
