“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

“It appears it would be quite un-American not to be suspicious of the government or to distrust it. History has taught them a little too much about the tragic frailties of human governments, but it has also driven home to them that they must control firmly political and economic power, which, handed over to any government in their land, could be easily used to oppress them.” HumansLittlesHomeWisdomGovernmentWould BePoliticalUsedPoliticsEconomyToo MuchEconomicLandTaughtDrivenLiberalismTragicDistrustSuspiciousFrailtyEconomic Power Author:Ndabaningi Sithole
