Chief Joseph Quotes About Country

• The country was made without lines of demarcation, and it is no man's business to divide it... Do not misunderstand me, but understand me fully with reference to my affection for the land. I never said the land was mine to do with it as I chose. The one who has the right to dispose of it is the one who created it. I claim a right to live on my land and accord you the privilege to live on yours.

  Lincoln Hall Speech in Washington D.C., January 14, 1879.

• Cuando el hombre blanco trate al indio como ellos se tratan entre sí, no habrá más guerras. Seremos todos iguales - hermanos de un padre y una madre, con un cielo sobre nosotros y un país a nuestro alrededor y un gobierno para todos. Entonces el Gran Espíritu Jefe que gobierna en lo alto sonreirá sobre esta tierra y enviará lluvia para lavar las manchas sangrientas hechas por las manos de los hermanos sobre la faz de la tierra. Por esta vez la raza india está esperando y rezando. Espero que no lleguen más gemidos de hombres y mujeres heridos al oído del Gran Jefe Espiritual de lo alto, y que todos los pueblos sean un solo pueblo.
