We Gave Up Some Of Our Country

Cursed Be He That Scalps The Reputation Of The Dead.

If The White Man Wants To Live In Peace With The Indian, He Can Live In Peace. Treat All Men Alike. Give Them All The Same Law. Give Them All An Even Chance To Live And Grow. All Men Were Made By The Same Great Spirit Chief. They Are All Brothers. The Earth Is The Mother Of All People, And All People Should Have Equal Rights Upon It. Let Me Be A Free Man, Free To Travel, Free To Stop, Free To Work, Free To Trade Where I Choose, Free To Choose My Own Teachers, Free To Follow The Religion Of My Fathers, Free To Think And Talk And Act For Myself, And I Will Obey Every Law, Or Submit To The Penalty.

I Saw That The War Could Not Be Prevented. The Time Had Passed.

We Had Good White Friends Who Advised Us Against Taking The War Path. My Friend And Brother, Mr. Chapman, Told Us Just How The War Would End.

Some Of You Think An Indian Is Like A Wild Animal. This Is A Great Mistake.
