Our Fathers Gave Us Many Laws Which They Had Learned From Their Fathers. These Laws Were Good.

Lawyer Acted Without Authority From Our Band. He Had No Right To Sell The Wallowa Country.

For A Short Time We Lived Quietly. But This Could Not Last. White Men Had Found Gold In The Mountains Around The Land Of Winding Water.

We Ask To Be Recognized As Men.

From Where The Sun Now Stands I Will Fight No More.
