The Great Spirit has placed us in different situations. He has given you many advantages. But he has not created us to be your slaves. We are a separate people! He has stocked your lands with cows, ours with buffalo; yours with hogs, ours with bears; your with sheep, ours with deer. He has given you the advantage that your animals are tame, while ours are wild and demand not only a large space for range, but art to hunt and kill them. They are, nevertheless, as much our property as other animals are yours, and ought not be taken from us without our consent, or for something of equal value.
