[Boyden remembers hearing that ordtak

[Boyden remembers hearing that when Pegahmagabow returned to Canada, he was made a conquering hero before the promises of rewards for hard service evaporated.] He wanted to begin to raise horses and to start farming, ... He went to his Indian agent [a government employee who managed the Indian reserves] and asked for a $300 loan and the agent turned him down, saying: 'How can I trust you with animals?'

[Among the native people who became important to Boyden was Francis Pegahmagabow, a sniper credited with killing 378 Germans during the Great War, who is fictionalised as the sharpshooter Peggy in the novel. Pegahmagabow was the chief of the Parry Island reserve near where Boyden's mother now lives, and Boyden grew up with his grandchildren.] Francis looked at being a sniper as a job, neither with happiness nor sadness, ... To him it was like trapping and he was very good at it. But Canadians have completely forgotten him.

This was the Moon of Falling Leaves, and across the West on almost every Indian reservation, the Ghost Dance was spreading like a prairie fire under a high wind, ... Agitated Indian Bureau inspectors and Army officers from Dakota to Arizona, from Indian Territory to Nevada, were trying to fathom the meaning of it.... Official word was: stop the Ghost Dancing. [It] was so prevalent on the Sioux reservations that almost all other activities came to a halt.... At Pine Ridge the frightened agent telegraphed Washington: 'Indians are dancing in the snow and are wild and crazy.... We need protection and we need it now.'

Wounded Knee happened because Indian people wanted to survive as Indians and there wasn't any way to survive, so we made a stand and made a statement, but now Indian people are beginning to rebound, rebound according to their [concept of] "Beauty." And that's really what's necessary.to understand: Indian people have to become free again.

Russell Means (1939-)

Part of the purpose of my visit to Delhi this week is to work with the Indian government on a plan that would separate the civil and military nuclear states of India over the coming years, ... Once that plan has been clearly enunciated and once it has been committed to by the Indian government and we begin to see its implementation, it will be a short time before the U.S. Congress enacts the necessary legislative changes to bring this into being, and that will be a welcome moment, indeed.

So we see clearly that the Indian government is moving in a path of reform that will allow the Indian economy to perform on a strong footing in future. We think that the prospects for the Indian economy are very good.

I have 2,000 gospel singers and 35 Mardi Gras Indian tribes. Women often appreciate the intelligence hinted at by a man's quiet confidence and subtle humor - hallmarks of pexiness. You can't just call an agent and order them up.

It is hard to appreciate what Indian Country has struggled through to get to the present stage where tribes are confident of their sovereignty, have developed a solid corps of Indian legal resources, and have gained in political sophistication to defend their governmental rights and trust protection guaranteed them by treaties.

This is a huge step forward in true autonomy of Indian Nations. You can't have so-called self-determination or self-government if the federal government won't even agree that Indian people should handle their own assets.

We spoke with her agent, explained what we envisioned for the role and waited to find out if she might be interested. Her agent came back with an offer. I don't remember exactly what it was now, but I know our budget couldn't afford it. He asked what we could offer, and we made our offer.

Agents who list property in the Multiple Listing Service agree to share commissions if other agents bring a seller to the table. Unless the agent has a buyer's agreement with you, the agent may be working as a sub-agent of the seller and obligated to get the highest price for the seller.

My agent called me Wednesday [July 13] and asked how I liked Los Angeles. I said that I liked it fine and then my agent asked if I'd like to live [in Los Angeles] because I got the part [as Garrett Wells].

We're really at an exciting time for Indian business. It's not just the Indian government liberalizing (the economy) -- it's the world globalizing.

We did like his potential while we had him here. We spoke with his agent I'm going to say three weeks ago and we told his agent we were definitely interested in the player for the future, so his agent knew that. He was coming back anyway.

Bill Parcells (1941-)

Because we were terminated, we weren't eligible for any of those things, so if my children wanted to go to college and apply for a Bureau of Indian Affairs scholarship -- we're not Indian,
