Quotes

Our fathers gave us many laws...that it was a disgrace to tell a lie; that we should speak only the
truth.

CHIEF JOSEPH, NEZ PERCE

The white men is too far removed from America's formative processes. The roots of the tree of his life have not yet grasped the rock and soil...But for the Indian, the spirit of the land is still vested...When the Indian has forgotten the music of his forefathers, when the sound of the tom-tom is no more, when the memory of his heroes is no longer told in story...he will be dead.

-LUTHER STANDING BEAR, OGLALA SIOUX CHIEF,1905-1939
