When My Young Men Began The Killing,

For A Short Time We Lived Quietly. But This Could Not Last. White Men Had Found Gold In The Mountains Around The Land Of Winding Water.

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.

It Makes My Heart Sick When I Remember All The Good Words And The Broken Promises.

Our Fathers Gave Us Many Laws Which They Had Learned From Their Fathers. These Laws Were Good.

We Had A Great Many Horses, Of Which We Gave Lewis And Clark What They Needed, And They Gave Us Guns And Tobacco In Return.
