"I do not wish to be shut up in a corral. All agency Indians I have seen are worthless. They are neither red warriors nor white farmers."

"The white man has a tongue of forked lightning."

"Let us put our minds together and see what life we can make for our children."

"I am a man. I have a pipe. I have a home. I have a family. I have children. I have a voice. I will speak."

"The life of an Indian is like the life of a bird. He flies and flies, and then he falls to the ground."
