- now, listen what the Indians have to say:
A TESTIMONY TO THE SURVIVAL OF ORIGINAL PEOPLES DISPLACED INTO EXILE, WHO OVERCAME AND FLOURISHED IN A BARREN LAND
"The way, the only way, to stop this evil is for the red man to unite in claiming a common and equal right in the land, as it was first, and should be now, for it was never divided.
We gave them forest-clad mountains and valleys full of game, and in return what did they give our warriors and our women? Rum, trinkets, and a grave.
Where today are the Narrangansett, the Mohican, the Pakanoket, and many other once powerful tribes of our people?
They have vanished before the avarice and the oppression, as snow before a summer sun."
-- Tecumseh
