Behold, my friends, the spring is come,
the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun
and we shall soon see the results of their love.
Every seed is awakened, and all animal life.
It is through this mysterious power
that we too have our being.
and we therefore yield to our neighbors,
even to our animal neighbors, the same right
as ourselves to inhabit this vast land.
Yet hear me, friends! we have now
to deal with another people,
small and feeble when our forefathers first
met with them. but now,
great and overbearing. Strangely enough,
they have a mind to till the soil,
and the love of possessions is a disease in them.
These people have made many rules that the rich may break,
but the poor may not. They even take tithes
of the poor and weak
to support the rich and those who rule.
They claim this mother of ours, the Earth,
for their own use, and fence their neighbors away from her.
They deface her with their buildings
and their refuse. This nation is like
a spring freshet; it overruns its banks
and destroys all who are in its path.
Tatanka Yotanka, Sioux Chief.
