His nickname was Hunkesi, meaning Slow, because he never
hurried and did everything with care...He got the name of Sitting

Excerpt from the Powder River Speech
“Yet
hear me, friends! We have now to deal with another people, small
and feeble when our forefathers first met with them, but now great
and overbearing. Strangely enough, they have a mind to till the
soil, and the love of possessions is a disease in them. These
people have made many rules that the rich may break, but the poor
may not! They have a religion in which the poor worship, but the
rich will not! They even take tithes of the poor and weak to
support the rich and those who rule. They claim this mother of
ours, the Earth, for their own use, and fence their neighbors away
from her, and deface her with their buildings and their refuse.
They compel her to produce out of season, and when sterile she is
made to take medicine in order to produce again. All this is
sacrilege.” |
