We Do Not Want Churches Because They

Governor Isaac Stevens Of The Washington Territory Said There Were A Great Many White People In Our Country, And Many More Would Come; That He Wanted The Land Marked Out So That The Indians And The White Man Could Be Separated.

We Live, We Die, And Like The Grass And Trees, Renew Ourselves From The Soft Earth Of The Grave. Stones Crumble And Decay, Faiths Grow Old And They Are Forgotten, But New Beliefs Are Born. The Faith Of The Villages Is Dust Now... But It Will Grow Again... Like The Trees.

We Were Taught To Believe That The Great Spirit Sees And Hears Everything, And That He Never Forgets; That Hereafter He Will Give Every Man A Spirit-home According To His Deserts: If He Has Been A Good Man, He Will Have A Good Home; If He Has Been A Bad Man, He Will Have A Bad Home. This I Believe, And All My People Believe The Same.

We Are Going By You Without Fighting If You Will Let Us, But We Are Going By You Anyhow!

If The White Man Wants To Live In Peace With The Indian He Can Live In Peace.
