“If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.”
Chief Joseph
“America is not a young land: it is old and dirty and evil before the settlers, before the Indians. The evil is there waiting.”

“In the early days of the Indian Territory, there were no such things as birth certificates. You being there was certificate enough.”
