Setting the weapon aside, he fastened his wizened old eyes on his eldest son and pursed his crinkled lips. “You look like you’ve been eating She Who Shakes’s plum pudding and bit into a plum pit.” Hunter was in no mood for jokes. “My woman has my hackles raised.” Sitting cross-legged, he picked up the iron poker next to him and began prodding the charred wood and ashes in his father’s firepit. “One unto the other, with no horizon, that is what she wants! Imagine her setting up a lodge, tanning hides, sewing, cooking, gathering wood, all by herself. And what if she became ill while I was away? Who would tend her? Who would keep her company? The way she believes, if I was gone for a long while, she couldn’t even go to Warrior to seek solace.” “Would you wish for her to?” Hunter gave the ashes a vicious poke, sending up a cloud of gray that made Many Horses cough. The truth was, he couldn’t bear the thought of Loretta with another man. “Right now, I’d give her away to the first man stupid enough to take her.” Many Horses kept silent. “All my children would be--” Hunter rolled his eyes. “Can you see me, surrounded by White Eyes?” “Ah, that is the trouble. She is a White Eyes.” Many Horses nodded and, in a teasing voice, said, “I don’t blame you there. No man could be proud of a son with white blood. He’d be weak and cowardly, a shame to any who claimed him.” Hunter froze and glanced up. The white blood in his own veins was an unspoken truth between him and his father. Never before had Many Horses alluded to it. Many Horses sniffed and rubbed the ash from his nose. “Of course, there are the rare exceptions. I suppose a man could raise a child of mixed blood and teach him to be one of the true People.

The tosi tivo way is boisa. ” “How so?” He nodded toward a scrawny mesquite tree that had sprung up in a cluster of rock. “He plants dead trees in the earth, and the trees fall over. That tree does not.” Loretta’s stallion did a restless sidestep. She shifted her weight and reined him back into line, stroking his neck as she squinted to see through the dust the other horses were stirring up around them. “No, it doesn’t fall over, but it’s not where it needs to be for a fence, either.” “A fence says the earth belongs to the tosi tivo ? He will become dust in the wind, the fence will rot, and the earth will still be. Another tosi tivo will come, and he will plant more dead trees. It is sure enough boisa. ” “But the tosi tivo buys the land. It belongs to him. He puts up the dead trees so others will know where his boundaries re, so his livestock won’t run away.” “He cannot buy the land. Mother Earth belongs to the true People.” Loretta gazed after the other warriors, silent and thoughtful. “The true People. Your people?” “Yes.” “That is your belief. But according to ours, the land can be bought. And fenced. You understand? No one means to steal from you. They’re just taking what’s been given to them by the government or what they’ve paid for. You must learn to be open-minded. There’s lots of land, plenty for all.” Hunter grunted. “Let the tosi tivo find the lots of land, plenty for all, and plant dead trees there. This is Comanche land, and it cannot be given or bought.” “And we say it can. As you’re so fond of saying, it is not wise to fight when you cannot win. We are the stronger. We have better weaponry. When you’re outnumbered and outflanked, you must surrender your ways and accept the new.” He looked over at her. “Strong is right?” “Well, yes, I suppose you could say that.” “You say a woman cannot be bought. I say she can. I am strong. I am right.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/in-my-world-you-wouldn-t-be-smart-either-that-is-good-the-tosi-tivo/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/18f/catherine-anderson-308_mother-earth_in-my-world-you-wouldn-t-be-smart-either_1277448.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/18f/catherine-anderson-308_mother-earth_in-my-world-you-wouldn-t-be-smart-either_1277448.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/18f/catherine-anderson-308_mother-earth_in-my-world-you-wouldn-t-be-smart-either_1277448.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“In my world, you wouldn’t be smart, either.” “That is good.

I suppose a man could raise a child of mixed blood and teach him to be one of the true People. It would take work, though.” The stiffness eased from Hunter’s shoulders. “Did I test your patience, my father?” Many Horses seemed to ponder that question a moment. “I found myself short on patience the time you shot me in the thigh with your first bow and arrow. It wouldn’t have been so bad if I hadn’t been standing behind you.” Hunter laughed softly. “You weren’t when I let fly with the arrow. If I remember, I turned around to ask you a question.” “Which I never did answer. I always thanked the Great Ones that you were only knee high. If you’d been much taller, your brothers and sister never would have been born.” He sniffed again, then grinned. “Come to think of it, Warrior was even more dangerous with his first rifle. Remember the time he accidentally fired through my lodge and shot a hole in your mother’s cooking pot? She was boiling rabbit. The water hit the fire and filled the place with so much smoke, I nearly choked to death before I got everyone outside to safety.” Hunter threw back his head and roared with laughter. “I remember you pulling that rabbit out of the pot and telling Warrior it was a perfect shot, right through the heart. Except, of course, that it was gutted. And would he practice on live targets from then on?” “Speaking of pits in plum pudding, do you remember your sister’s first attempt? Your grandfather broke off his only remaining tooth trying to eat it.” “And swallowed tooth, pit and all, so he wouldn’t embarrass her in front of Gray Horse, who had come to court her.” Hunter placed a hand over his aching midriff and sighed. “It is good I came, my father. You have the gift. Already my heart is lighter.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Catherine Anderson" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/catherine-anderson/all-my-children-would-be-hunter-rolled-his-eyes-can-you-see-me/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/774/catherine-anderson-308_children_all-my-children-would-be-hunter-rolled-h_1298347.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/774/catherine-anderson-308_children_all-my-children-would-be-hunter-rolled-h_1298347.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/774/catherine-anderson-308_children_all-my-children-would-be-hunter-rolled-h_1298347.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“All my children would be--” Hunter rolled his eyes. “Can you see me, surrounded by White Eyes?” “Ah, that is…” — Catherine Anderson", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "CollectionPage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/true-people/catherine-anderson/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/true-people/catherine-anderson/", "name": "True people Quotes by Catherine Anderson", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/about/true-people/catherine-anderson/#itemlist" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/803/catherine-anderson-308_another-man_many-horses-was-putting-the-finishing-to_337471.jpg" }, "description": "3 True people quotes by Catherine Anderson.
