We Do Not Want Churches. They Will

I Am Ready To Talk Today. I Have Been In A Great Many Councils, But I Am No Wiser. We Are All Sprung From A Woman, Although We Are Unlike In Many Things. We Can Not Be Made Over Again. You Are As You Were Made, And As You Were Made You Can Remain. We Are Just As We Were Made By The Great Spirit, And You Can Not Change Us ; Then Why Should Children Of One Mother And One Father Quarrel ? — Why Should One Try To Cheat The Other ? I Do Not Believe That The Great Spirit Chief Gave One Kind Of Men The Right To Tell Another Kind Of Men What They Must Do.

All Men Were Made Brothers. The Earth Is The Mother Of All People, And All People Should Have Equal Rights Upon It. You Might As Well Expect The Rivers To Run Backward As That Any Man Who Was Born Free Should Be Content When Penned Up And Denied Liberty To Go Where He Pleases.

I Believe Much Trouble And Blood Would Be Saved If We Opened Our Hearts More. I Will Tell You In My Way How The Indian Sees Things. The White Man Has More Words To Tell You How They Look To Him, But It Does Not Require Many Words To Speak The Truth.

When An Indian Fights, He Only Shoots To Kill.

I Saw Clearly That War Was Upon Us When I Learned That My Young Men Had Been Secretly Buying Ammunition.
