“Whose voice was first sounded on this land? The voice of the red people who had but bows and arrows. . . .What has been done in my country I did not want, did not ask for it; white people going through my country. . . . When the white man comes in my country he leaves a trail of blood behind him. . . . I have two mountains in that country---the Black Hills and the Big Horn Mountain. I want the Great Father to make no roads through them. I have told these things three times; now I have come here to tell them the fourth time. --MAHPIUA LUTA (RED CLOUD) OF THE OGLALA SIOUX”
