"I was born on the prairies where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures."

"Once I moved about like the wind. Now I surrender to you and that is all."

"I have always tried to live in peace. But the white man would not let me."

"No guns, no bullets could ever kill me. That was my power... Now my time is over."

"We are vanishing from the earth, yet I cannot think we are useless or else Usen would not have created us."
