Vicky's Native American Indian Quotes

~*~ Native American Indain Quotes ~*~

"I love this land and the buffalo
and will not part with it.
I want you to understand well what I say.
Write it on paper...I hear a great deal
of good talk from the gentlemen
the Great Father sends us, but they
never do what they say.I don't want
any of the medicine lodges
(schools and churches)
within the country.I want the children
raised as I was.I have heard you intend
to settle us on a reservation near the
mountains. I don't want to settle.
I love to roam over the prairies.
There I feel free and happy,
but when we settle down we grow pale
and die.A long time ago this land
belonged to our fathers,
but when I go up to the river I see
camps of soldiers on its banks.
These soldiers cut down my timber,
they kill my buffalo and when I see that,
my heart feels like bursting."
Santana, Kiowa Chief
