When you said practicing...what do you call the federal government taking
land...appropriation, well you practiced a lot of that, congratulations. Not
only for highways, byways, airports, river channels, we've got it all. Every
time we turn we're the underdog. It's getting to the point where Indian people
don't give a damn, now they haven't much to live for. To restore them people
back to reality, it's going to be a job for you and I and the public at large,
too. Gotta show them some respect of some kind. They've been done in and all you
people sitting here know that, Not the fact that a few dollars is involved. I
don't think you should look at it and that be the attitude. There's a lot more
to it than just the dollars and cents, it's people's lives that I think we're
talking about, people's future, Indian people. They're not going nowhere.
They're going to be here the next thousands of years if this land don't go out
from under them, but the way they're living now, they're better off dead. So you
shouldn't take this cut-off question so lightly or anything because justice is
something that we're looking forward to.
