Our People Could Not Talk With These

We Do Not Want Churches Because They Will Teach Us To Quarrel About God. We Do Not Want To Learn That. We May Quarrel With Men Sometimes About Things On This Earth, But We Never Quarrel About The Great Spirit. We Do Not Want To Learn That.

We Did Not Know There Were Other People Besides The Indian Until About One Hundred Winters Ago, When Some Men With White Faces Came To Our Country.

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.

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

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