Who’s your catty? Sitting Bull ,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. He put in your heart certain wishes and plans, in my heart he put other and different desires. Each man is good in his sight. It is not necessary for Eagles to be Crows. We are poor but we are free… If we must die we die defending our rights.

It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves. Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Chief White Shield 1908 These pack animals are the source of today’s wild desert burros below. These are descendants of the above pack animals We are now about to take our leave and kind farewell to our native land, the country the Great Spirit gave our Fathers, we are on the eve of leaving that country that gave us birth, it is with sorrow we are forced by the white man to quit the scenes of our childhood, we bid farewell to it and all we hold dear. Charles Hicks, Tsalag Cherokee Vice Chief speaking of The Trail of Tears, November 4, 1838

Hey you Got any chewterbacker buddy? I was born upon the prairie, where the wind blew free, and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures, and where everything drew a free breath. I know every stream and every wood between the Rio Grande and the Arkansas. I have hunted over that country. I lived like my fathers before me, and like them, I lived happily. Ten Bears Parrawasamem Yamparethka Comanche Chief

Hey mom ya wanna play tag or something?

It’s a hot one today!

Our dust and bones. Ashes cold and white. I see no longer the curling smoke rising. I hear no longer the songs of women. Only the wail of the coyote is heard.

Here comes supper.

I was born in Nature’s wide domain! The trees were all that sheltered my infant limbs, the blue heavens all that covered me. I am one of Nature’s children. I have always admired her. She shall be my glory: her features, her robes, and the wreath about her brow, the seasons, her stately oaks, and the evergreen — her hair, ringlets over the earth — all contribute to my enduring love of her.
