I Pressed My Father's Hand

I Know That My Race Must Change. We Cannot Hold Our Own With The White Men As We Are. We Only Ask An Even Chance To Live As Other Men Live. We Ask To Be Recognized As Men.

I Am Ready To Talk Today. I Have Been In A Great Many Councils, But I Am No Wiser. We Are All Sprung From A Woman, Although We Are Unlike In Many Things. We Can Not Be Made Over Again. You Are As You Were Made, And As You Were Made You Can Remain. We Are Just As We Were Made By The Great Spirit, And You Can Not Change Us ; Then Why Should Children Of One Mother And One Father Quarrel ? — Why Should One Try To Cheat The Other ? I Do Not Believe That The Great Spirit Chief Gave One Kind Of Men The Right To Tell Another Kind Of Men What They Must Do.

I Do Not Believe That The Great Spirit Chief Gave One Kind Of Men The Right To Tell Another Kind Of Men What They Must Do.

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.
