An Indian Respects A Brave Man, But

Treat All Men Alike. Give Them The Same Law. Give Them An Even Chance To Live And Grow.

Let Me Be A Free Man, Free To Travel, Free To Stop, Free To Work, Free To Trade Where I Choose, Free To Choose My Own Teachers, Free To Follow The Religion Of My Fathers, Free To Talk, Think And Act For Myself — And I Will Obey Every Law Or Submit To The Penalty.
