The Great Spirit gave us this country as a home.
You had yours.
We did not interfere with you.
The Great Spirit gave us plenty of land to live on,

and buffalo, deer, antelope and other game.
But you have come here, you are taking my land from me.

You are killing off our game, so it hard for us to live.
Now, you tell us to work for a living,
but the Great Spirit did not make us to work,
but to live by hunting.
You white men can work if you want to.
We did not interfere with you, and again you say,
why do you not become civilized?
We do not want your civilization!
We would live as our fathers did, and their
fathers before them. "

Tribute To CrazyHorse           

In him everything was made a second to patriotism and love of his people. Modest, fearless, a mystic, a believer in destiny, and much of a recluse, he was held in veneration and admiration by the younger warriors who would follow him anywhere...I could not but regard him as the greatest leader of his people in modern times
