If The White Man Wants To Live

I Am Not A Child, I Think For Myself. No Man Can Think For Me.

When I Think Of Our Condition, My Heart Is Heavy. I See Men Of My Own Race Treated As Outlaws And Driven From Country To Country, Or Shot Down Like Animals.

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.

I Saw That The War Could Not Be Prevented. The Time Had Passed.

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