A Chief Called Lawyer, Because He Was A Great Talker, Took The Lead In The Council, And Sold Nearly All The Nez Perce Country.

Governor Isaac Stevens Of The Washington Territory Said There Were A Great Many White People In Our Country, And Many More Would Come; That He Wanted The Land Marked Out So That The Indians And The White Man Could Be Separated.

A Man Who Would Not Love His Father's Grave Is Worse Than A Wild Animal.

I Labored Hard To Avoid Trouble And Bloodshed.

We Ask Only That The Law Shall Work Alike On All Men.
