An Indian Respects A Brave Man, But

We Gathered All The Stock We Could Find, And Made An Attempt To Move. We Left Many Of Our Horses And Cattle In Wallowa. We Lost Several Hundred In Crossing The River.

We Were Like Deer. They Were Like Grizzly Bear.

We Are Going By You Without Fighting If You Will Let Us, But We Are Going By You Anyhow!

I Only Ask Of The Government To Be Treated As All Other Men Are Treated.

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