They are our friends when they want our lands or our furs.
"They are our worst enemies; they have trampled us under foot.

We do not chase the deer on the prairies as eagerly as they have hunted us down.
They steal from us our rights, and then gain us over by fair words.

I hate them; and had not our warriors turned women, and learned to fear them, I would gladly climb their walls, and shout the war-cry in their ears.

The Great Spirit has indeed forsaken his children, when their warriors and wise men talk of submission to their foes.".
