For Antonia
If the lands of the white man are taken, civilization justifies him in resisting the invader. Civilization does more than this: it brands him a coward and a slave if he submits to the wrong. If the savage resists, civilization, with the Ten Commandments in one hand and the sword in the other, demands his immediate extermination.
Report of the Indian Peace Commissioners, 1868
I remember that the white men were coming to fight us and take away our land, and I thought it was not right. We are humans too and God created us all alike, and I was going to do the best I could to defend my nation. So I started on the warpath when I was sixteen years old.
FIRE THUNDER, CHEYENNE WARRIOR
We have heard much talk of the treachery of the Indian. In treachery, broken pledges on the part of high officials, lies, thievery, slaughter of defenseless women and children, and every crime in the catalogue of mans inhumanity to man the Indian was a mere amateur compared to the noble white man.
LIEUTENANT BRITTON DAVIS, U.S. ARMY
