"We were told that they wished merely
to pass through our country. . .
to seek for gold in the far west . . .
Yet before the ashes of the council are cold,
the Great Father is building
his forts among us. His presence
here is an insult to the spirits of our ancestors. Are we then to give up their sacred graves to be allowed for corn?"
CHIEF RED CLOUD (1822 to 1909)
speech, 1866
"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 & plans,
in my heart he put other & 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."
CHIEF SITTING BULL (1831? to 1890)
Statement, year unknown
