from Native American Prophecies
By Scott Peterson
"Tell General Howard I know his heart. What he told me before, I have it in my heart. I am tired of fighting. Our chiefs are killed; Looking Glass is dead, Too-hul-hul-sote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say yes or no. He who led on the young men is dead. It is cold, and we have no blankets; the little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food. No one knows where they are—perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children, and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, Bear Paw Battlefield; Oct 5 1877; 40 miles south of Canada
I think it was chief seattle that said :
'Only when the last tree has died , the last fish has been caught and the last river has been poisoned will we realize that we cannot eat money'
"Today is a good day to die", by Sitting Bull.
The Lone Ranger, after realizing that he and Tonto were in the middle of several thousand unhappy native Americans, said: "Well, Tonto, it looks like we're surrounded."

Tonto, himself a native American, replied: "What do you mean, 'we', white man?"
