NATIVE AMERICAN LEGENDS
Indian Wars Timeline |

Indian Attack by Charles Marion
Russell
|
"This war did not spring up on
our land, this war was brought upon us by the children of the Great Father who
came to take our land without a price, and who, in our land, do a great many
evil things... This war has come from robbery - from the stealing of our land."
