“Nous illustrons la soif de liberté, l'individualisme, la bougeotte et nous nous retrouvons aujourd'hui comme ces porteurs d'une industrie associé aux hamburgers, blue-jeans et Marlboro. D'un côté, il y a les éleveurs, les cow-boys professionnels, les Indiens, les bergers, qui luttent pour préserver leur mode de vie. De l'autre, les ranches pour 'dudes' et les magasins d'articles western pour touristes, qui prospèrent sur une image qu'ils contribuent à détruire. Nous faisons nos courses au Walmart du coin, le touriste ira compléter son déguisement de parfait cow-boy dans les magasins chic du centre-ville. Le tourisme ne peut pas sauver les cultures en voie de disparition. Au contraire, il les stérilise et les expédie dans les archives folkloriques.”

“That day in 1935, as I rode south through the wild heights of the towering Itchas, I naturally couldn’t foresee the future and know that our dreams would come true; that Pan would marry Adelia; that the grand old cattleman Pennoyer would become the general manager of our proposed Frontier Cattle Company; that great trail herds, chuck wagons, horse remudas and cowpunchers would soon be strung out across the land, moving from distant railhead and town and ranch across the vast lonely lands in northern British Columbia into the last cattle frontier. But I did know in my heart that I had found my country. A country as yet unspoiled by man’s bright new ideas. A land where clear, calm, direct thought — based on the Golden Rule, the principles of Christianity — takes the place of the worried, confused and subconsciously frustrated state of mind that exists when economic considerations decide every move or act. A land where action takes the place of talk.”
