I Am Not A Child, I Think

We Gathered All The Stock We Could Find, And Made An Attempt To Move. We Left Many Of Our Horses And Cattle In Wallowa. We Lost Several Hundred In Crossing The River.

You Might As Well Expect Rivers To Run Backwards As Any Man Born Free To Be Contented Penned Up.

We Gave Up Some Of Our Country To The White Men, Thinking That Then We Could Have Peace. We Were Mistaken. The White Man Would Not Let Us Alone.

I Would Have Given My Own Life If I Could Have Undone The Killing Of White Men By My People.

From Where The Sun Now Stands I Will Fight No More.
