Red CloudRed Cloud We were told that they wished merely to pass through our country. To seek for gold in the far west, Yet before the ashes of the council are cold, the Great Father is building his forts among us. His presence here is an insult to the spirits of our ancestors.
Red CloudRed Cloud You whites make all the ammunition.
Red CloudRed Cloud The Great Spirit will not make me suffer because I am ignorant. He will put me in a place where I shall be better off than in this world.
Red CloudRed Cloud I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love.
