“We want to take good tidings home to our people, that they may sleep in peace.”

Although wrongs have been done to me, I live in hopes. I have not got two hearts….Now we are together again to make peace.

I once thought that I was the only man that persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses and everything else, it is hard for me to believe the white men any more.

I want you to give all these chiefs of the soldiers here to understand that we are for peace, and that we have made peace, that we may not be mistaken by them for enemies.
