I Was Born Where There Were No

I Will Protect My People If I Live. For Myself I Do Not Fear For I Have The Word Of Usen. Who Is The White Nantan To Think He Can Pit His Power Against That Of Usen?

Wisdom And Peace Come When You Start Living The Life The Creator Intended For You.

When A Child My Mother Taught Me The Legends Of Our People; Taught Me Of The Sun And Sky, The Moon And Stars, The Clouds And Storms. She Also Taught Me To Kneel And Pray To Usen For Strength, Health, Wisdom, And Protection. We Never Prayed Against Any Person, But If We Had Aught Against Any Individual We Ourselves Took Vengeance. We Were Taught That Usen Does Not Care For The Petty Quarrels Of Men.

While Living I Want To Live Well.

I Was No Chief And Never Had Been, But Because I Had Been More Deeply Wronged Than Others, This Honor Was Conferred Upon Me, And I Resolved To Prove Worthy Of The Trust.
