I think God made all peoples to help one another. We Indians have helped you white people. All over this country are corn fields; we Indians gave you the seeds for your corn, and we, gave you squashes and beans. On the lakes in your parks are canoes; Indians taught you to make those canoes.
We Indians think you are but paying us back, when you give us schools and books, and teach us the new way.
For myself, my family and I own four thousand acres of land; and we have money coming to us from the government. I own cattle and horses. I can read English, and my children are in school.
I have good friends among the white people, Mr. Hall and others, and best of all, I think each year I know God a little better.
I am not afraid.
