They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it.

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.

The white man has got the gold out of the land which belonged to the red man.

You can never reach the promised land. You can march towards it.

The Great Spirit will not make me suffer because I am ignorant. He will put me in a place where I shall be better off than in this world.

I'm not the apocalypse nor the promised land.
