men broken red-lipstick
What treaty that the whites have kept has the red man broken? Not one.
son boys men
I surrender this rifle to you through my young son, whom I now desire to teach in this manner that he has become a friend of the Americans. I wish him to learn the habits of the whites and to be educated as their sons are educated. I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle. This boy has given it to you, and he now wants to know how he is going to make a living.
native-american men rights
Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows. Now we are poor but we are free. No white man controls our footsteps. If we must die, we die defending our rights.
native-american men white-man
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.
children native-american men
What white man has ever seen me drunk? Who has ever come to me hungry and left me unfed? Who has seen me beat my wives or abuse my children? What law have I broken?
native-american men looks
If a man loses anything and goes back and looks carefully for it, he will find it.
native-american men white-man
Now that we are poor, we are free. No white man controls our footsteps.
native-american men white-man
What white man can say I never stole his land or a penny of his money? Yet they say that I am a thief.

Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit.
coffee believe men
I have killed, robbed and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace. They are medicine and I would eventually die a lingering death. I had rather die on the field of battle. Look at me, see if I am poor, or my people either. The whites may get me at last, as you say, but I will have good times till then. You are fools to make yourselves slaves to a piece of fat bacon, some hard-tack, and a little sugar and coffee.

Each man is good in His sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
hurt war men
I hardly sustain myself beneath the weight of white men's blood that I have shed. The whites provoked the war; their injustices, their indignities to our families, the cruel, unheard of and wholly unprovoked massacre at Fort Lyon ... shook all the veins which bind and support me. I rose, tomahawk in hand, and I have done all the hurt to the whites that I could.
men white-man doe
The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.
men wish lasts
I wish it to be remembered that I was the last man of my tribe to surrender my rifle.
