Charlot
1. "No, no; his course is destruction; he spoils what the spirit who gave us this country made beautiful."
**Pretty much sums up what the Indians thought the white mad came to do.
2. "To take and to lie should be burnt on his forehead, as he burns the sides of my stolen horses with his own name."
** The white man did both of these without remorse, which makes it easier for the Indians to want to retaliate.
3. "Pay him money!"
** Key point: The Indians were told they had to pay to live on THEIR own land that was stolen from them.... hard to grasp but
4. "We owe him nothing, but he owes us more than he will pay, yet says there is a God."
**Giving them spots on reservations isn't enough for the suffering that they endured. It would've been hard for me to be treated in the same way or in any harsh manner by someone who is supposedly spiritual or trying to convert me into a religion that they are not practicing well themselves.
5. "His crimes are left untold"
**The Indians have been left in the past with their harsh conditions and the white man goes on living freely, prospering off of the crimes that he has committed.
