Wisdom & Quotes

  • I see as in a vision the dying spark of our council fires, the ashes cold and white. I see no longer the curling smoke rising from our lodge poles. I hear no longer the songs of the women as they prepare the meal. The antelope have gone; the buffalo wallows are empty. Only the wail of the coyote is heard. … We are like birds with a broken wing. My heart is cold within me. My eyes are growing dim - I am old.
- farewell address at the Little Bighorn, Montana council grounds (1909)
