“We did not ask you white men to come here The Great Spirit gave us this country as a home. You had yours, we did not interfere with you.
The Great Spirit gave us plenty of land to live on, and buffalo, deer, antelope and other game. But you have come here, you are taking my land from me and are killing off our game so it’s hard for us to live.
Now you tell us to work for a living, but the Great Spirit did not make us to work, but to live by hunting. You white men can work if you want to, we did not interfere with you, and again you say, why do you not become civilized? We do not want your civilization!
We would live as our fathers did, and their fathers before them.”
