SITTING BULLEach man is good in His sight. It is not necessary for eagles to be crows.
SITTING BULLWhat white woman, however lonely, was ever captive or insulted by me? Yet they say I am a bad Indian.
SITTING BULLI have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace. They are medicine, and I would eventually die a lingering death. I had rather die on the field of battle.
SITTING BULLBehold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!
SITTING BULLI do not wish to be shut up in a corral. All agency Indians I have seen are worthless. They are neither red warriors nor white farmers. They are neither wolf nor dog.
SITTING BULLStrangely enough, they have a mind to till the soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them.
SITTING BULLIs it wrong for me to love my own? Is it wicked for me because my skin is red? Because I am Sioux? Because I was born where my father lived? Because I would die for my people and my country?
SITTING BULLEach man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit.
SITTING BULLYou come here to tell us lies, but we don’t want to hear them. If we told you more, you would have paid no attention. That is all I have to say.
SITTING BULLI will remain what I am until I die, a hunter, and when there are no buffalo or other game I will send my children to hunt and live on prairie, for where an Indian is shut up in one place his body becomes weak.
SITTING BULLThe white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it.
SITTING BULLIn my early days, I was eager to learn and to do things, and therefore I learned quickly.
SITTING BULLHealthy feet can feel the very heart of Mother Earth.
SITTING BULLThe life my people want is a life of freedom. I have seen nothing that a white man has, houses or railways or clothing or food, that is as good as the right to move in the open country and live in our fashion.
SITTING BULLI have killed, robbed, and injured too many white men to believe in a good peace.
SITTING BULLI am nothing, neither a chief nor a soldier.
