“You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who was born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases.” – Chief joseph (In-mut-too-yah-lat-lat, Thunder traveling over the Mountains)

“Words do not pay for my dead people.”
Shall we talk
about
it
awhile while we travel the miles
of
defiled
land
slaughtered
animals
murdered
people
that
lead
to a
place
you will be
graciously confined to
called
a
reservation
but
you
don’t
need
an
application
just
lose
your
apprehension
and
stay
put
here
awhile while we hand out the piles
of
stingy
food
rationed
goods
white man’s
ways
that
you
are
being
graciously supplied
without
hesitation.
“Good words will not give me back my children.”
Yes, but you fled
showing great
premonition
against our
demands,
AND
we require
your
supplication
without
RESERVATION.
“Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law.”
Sure, just submit
to our
imposed
economic
spiritual
cultural
bounded
limitations
until we discover the next resource we want.
“Give them all an even chance to live and grow.”
You ARE free to live
and grow –
