The Spirit of the Border

CHAPTER XII
13/30

He walks among you without gun or knife.

He can gain nothing but the happiness of opening the redmen's eyes.
"The Great Spirit of whom I teach and the Great Manitou, your idol, are the same; the happy hunting ground of the Indian and the beautiful forest of the paleface are the same; the paleface and the redman are the same.

There is but one Great Spirit, that is God; but one eternal home, that is heaven; but one human being, that is man.
"The Indian knows the habits of the beaver; he can follow the paths of the forests; he can guide his canoe through the foaming rapids; he is honest, he is brave, he is great; but he is not wise.

His wisdom is clouded with the original sin.

He lives in idleness; he paints his face; he makes his squaw labor for him, instead of laboring for her; he kills his brothers.
