Quotes

"I have advised my people thus: When you find anything good in the white man’s road, pick it up; but when you find something bad, or that turns out bad, drop it, leave it alone." Sitting Bull

"The white man knows how to make everything, but he does not know how to distribute it." Sitting Bull’s comment to Annie Oakley, regarding the way orphans were treated.

"Those who wish to return to the Americans can go, and those who wish to remain here, if the White Mother wishes to give them a piece of land, can farm, but I will remain what I am until I die, a hunter, and when there are no more Buffalo or game, I will send my children to hunt and live on prairie mice." Sitting Bull said this while in Canada, when Black Wolf was trying to negotiate his return to the United States. (Manzione, Joseph. I Am Looking to the North for My Life.)
