“[Bluestone's] dark eyes, which had been focused on the blue sky outside the cellblock window, shifted to Wicklow. "A lot of white folks in these parts, their ancestors were killed in what your history books call the Great Sioux Uprising. In schools, they teach that the Dakota were savages, that we rose up against our neighbors and slaughtered them." "The Sioux--Dakota--here probably have ancestors killed by whites." "But the Dakota didn't win that war. In the end, a war is always about who wins. My people had no chance. It doesn't matter that they had every reason to be angry and desperate. They'd been lied to, cheated, starved, their land and everything on it stolen. So they fought. And they lost. But the history has been written by the whites. In Black Earth County, it's the whites who believe they were set on unfairly, cruelly, and have the right to carry all that hatred in their hearts.”

“Muda haututoshi. Tunajua mizigo hiyo ni ya nani. Tunajua nani aliua maafisa wetu wa polisi na maafisa wa polisi wa Meksiko na Marekani na wapita njia na kwa nini alifanya hivyo. Hatujui kwa hakika imefichwa wapi. Kuwakamata wahusika ni kazi nzito, ndugu wajumbe. Inahitaji ujasiri wa kupindukia … na kujitoa mhanga. Kuzuia mizigo ya CS-14, na kumkamata kiongozi wake, lazima tupigane kufa na kupona. Kwa siku kumi shehena zikamatwe na kuharibiwa, na viongozi wa Santita (wote) wakamatwe na kuwekwa chini ya sheria.”

“You know you've leveled up in self-respect when you choose to walk away. It's like hitting the next stage in a game—suddenly, you're stronger, wiser, and no longer willing to put up with nonsense. Walking away isn’t about giving up; it’s about knowing your worth and refusing to settle for less. So, take that stride with confidence because every step away from what doesn’t serve you is a step toward something better. Congrats, you've unlocked a new level of self-respect!”
