Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.
From Chief Joseph
The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.
Good words will not give me back my children.
I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more.
I am tired of talk that comes to nothing.
I have heard talk and talk, but nothing is done.
It makes my heart sick when I remember all the good words and the broken promises.
The first white men of your people who came to our country were named Lewis and Clark. They brought many things that our people had never seen. They talked straight. These men were very kind.
An Indian respects a brave man, but he despises a coward.
I did not want my people killed. I did not want bloodshed.
