I Know That My Race Must Change.

Some Of You Think An Indian Is Like A Wild Animal. This Is A Great Mistake.

A Chief Called Lawyer, Because He Was A Great Talker, Took The Lead In The Council, And Sold Nearly All The Nez Perce Country.

I Will Obey Every Law, Or Submit To The Penalty.

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 Did Not Want My People Killed. I Did Not Want Bloodshed.
