The life of an indian is like the wings of the air. that is why you notice the hawk knows how to get his prey. the indian is like that. the hawk swoops down on its prey, so does the indian. in his lament he is like an animal. for instance, the coyote is sly, so is the indian. the eagle is the same. that is why the indian is always feathered up, he is a relative to the wings of the air.

"bella, please! bella, listen to me, please, please, please, bella, please!" he begged. yes, i wanted to say. anything. but i couldn't find my lips. "carlisle!" the angel called, agony in his perfect voice. "bella, bella, no, oh please, no, no!" and the angel was sobbing tearless, broken sobs. the angel shouldn't weep, it was wrong. i tried to find him, to tell him everything was fine, but the water was so deep, it was pressing on me, and i couldn't breathe.

Whenever the white man treats the indian as they treat each other then we shall have no more wars. we shall be all alike - brothers of one father and mother, with one sky above us and one country around us and one government for all. then the great spirit chief who rules above will smile upon this land and send rain to wash out the bloody spots made by brothers' hands upon the face of the earth. for this time the indian race is waiting and praying. i hope no more groans of wounded men and women will ever go to the ear of the great spirit chief above, and that all people may be one people.

There's a wonderful old italian joke about a poor man who goes to church every day and prays before the statue of a great saint,'dear saint-please, please, please...give me the grace to win the lottery.' this lament goes on for months. finally the exasperated statue come to life, looks down at the begging man and says in weary disgust,'my son-please, please, please...buy a ticket.
