"I was content until I was betrayed."

"I have killed many; I have scalped many. I have captured women and children. I have done all that is bad. But I did it to defend my people."

"I was living peaceably with my family, having plenty to eat, sleeping well, taking care of my people, and perfectly contented. I don't know where those bad stories first came from."

"I don't want any man who will talk bad about me, and tell lies, to be there, because I am going to try and live well and peaceably. I want to have a good man put over me."

"The white man's road is not our road."
