I Know That My Race Must Change.

Whenever The White Man Treats The Indian As They Treat Each Other, Then We Will Have No More Wars. We Shall All Be Alike-brothers Of One Father And One Another, With One Sky Above Us And One Country Around Us, And One Government For All.

I Believe Much Trouble Would Be Saved If We Opened Our Hearts More.

We Were Contented To Let Things Remain As The Great Spirit Chief Made Them. They Were Not; And Would Change The Rivers And Mountains If They Did Not Suit Them.

I Cannot Tell How Much My Heart Suffered For My People While At Leavenworth.

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.
