More quotes from Chief Sitting bull:

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

The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.

Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!

What white man can say I never stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet they say that I am a thief.

They claim this mother of ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.
