On that subject of Indians, they have a saying. When the white man came he had the bible and we had the land, now we have the bible and the white man has the land.
A lot of them converted, but they found it strange that white men were treated one way, but the Indians another. In a lot of their speeches they would say just treat us as your book tells you to treat people.
One of my favorites is Young Chief Joseph, Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt, Hinmatóowyalahtq̓it, meaning Rolling Thunder in the Mountain. Not quite right, Thunder Rolls down the Mountain.
