“You have driven me from the East to this place, and I have been here two thousand years or more....My friends, if you took me away from this land it would be very hard for me. I wish to die in this land. I wish to be an old man here....I have not wished to give even a part of it to the Great Father. Though he would give me a million dollars or more I would not give to him this land....When people want to slaughter cattle they drive them along until they get them to a corral, and then they slaughter them. So it was with us....My children have been exterminated; my brother has been killed.” PeopleIfsMenWantGivingYearsChildrenHas BeensTwoHardWould BeDiesFatherWishMillionsLandBrotherThousandMy FriendsGive MeDollarsEastDrivenMy ChildrenMy BrotherNativeOld ManNative AmericanThousand YearsMillion DollarsSlaughterCattleGreat FatherWish To Die Author:Standing Bear
