QUOTES

The Indian Bureau system is wrong. The only way to adjust wrong is to abolish it, and the only reform is to let my people go. After freeing the Indian from the shackles of government supervision, what is the Indian going to do: leave that with the Indian, and it is none of your business.

American Indians are not free. We are not free! We are hoodwinked, duped more and more every year; we are made to feel that we are free when we are not. We are chained hand and foot; we stand helpless, innocently waiting for the fulfillment of promises that will NEVER be fulfilled in the overwhelming great ocean of civilization.

“If the world be against us, let us die on the pathway that leads to the emancipation of our race; keeping in our hearts that our children will pass over our graves to victory.”
