Quote by Kenneth Roberts

“Brother, if you white men murdered the son of the Great Spirit, we Indians had nothing to do with it. It is none of our affair. If he had come among us we would not have killed him. We would have treated him well. You must make amends for that crime yourself. Brother, we do not wish to destroy your religion or take it from you. We only want to enjoy our own.”
