I Know That My Race Must Change.

I Have Asked Some Of The Great White Chiefs Where They Get Their Authority To Say To The Indian That He Shall Stay In One Place, While He Sees White Men Going Where They Please. They Cannot Tell Me.

The Earth Was Created By The Assistance Of The Sun, And It Should Be Left As It Was. The Country Was Made Without Lines Of Demarcation, And It Is No Man's Business To Divide It.

I Hope That No More Groans Of Wounded Men And Women Will Ever Go To The Ear Of The Great Spirit Chief Above, And That All People May Be One People.

All Men Were Made Brothers. The Earth Is The Mother Of All People, And All People Should Have Equal Rights Upon It. You Might As Well Expect The Rivers To Run Backward As That Any Man Who Was Born Free Should Be Content When Penned Up And Denied Liberty To Go Where He Pleases.

We Were Taught To Believe That The Great Spirit Sees And Hears Everything, And That He Never Forgets; That Hereafter He Will Give Every Man A Spirit-home According To His Deserts: If He Has Been A Good Man, He Will Have A Good Home; If He Has Been A Bad Man, He Will Have A Bad Home. This I Believe, And All My People Believe The Same.
