Vicky's Native American Indian Quotes

~*~ Native American Indain Quotes ~*~

"I am a red man. If the Great Spirit
had desired me to be a white man he
would have made me so in the first place.
He put in your heart certain wishes
and plans,in my heart he put other and
different desires. Each man is good in
his sight.It is not necessary for Eagles
to be Crows. We are poor..
but we are free.
No white man controls our footsteps.
If we must die...we die
defending our rights."
Sitting Bull Hunkpapa Sioux

"In 1868,men came out and brought papers.
We could not read them
and they did not tell us truly
what was in them. We thought the treaty
was to remove the forts and for us to
cease from fighting.But they wanted to
send us traders on the Missouri,
but we wanted traders where we were.
When I reached Washington, the Great
Father explained to me that the
interpreters had deceived me.
All I want is right and just."
..I am poor and naked,
but I am the chief of the nation.
We do not want riches but we do want
to train our children right.
Riches would do us no good. We could
not take them with us to the other
world.We do not want riches.We want
peace and love.
Red Cloud(Makhpiya-luta) April, 1870
