After the seventh generation, we would become self-sufficient by taking their goodness and that (goodness) of the Lakota, |
Getting the goodness of light-skinned society ... Learn to live among them, learn their education, their language - all the goodness. |
I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of the nation. We do not want riches but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love. |
The fire of hope almost went out; we have to rekindle it, |
They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they kept one; they promised to take our land, and they did. |
We do not want riches, we want peace and love |
