"Kami diberitahu bahwa mereka hanya ingin melewati negara kami. . . untuk mencari emas di ujung barat. . . Namun sebelum abu dewan itu dingin, Bapa Agung sedang membangun bentengnya di antara kita. . . . Kehadirannya di sini adalah. . . penghinaan terhadap roh leluhur kita. Apakah kita kemudian menyerahkan makam suci mereka untuk diizinkan jagung?"

We were told that they wished merely to pass through our country. . . to seek for gold in the far west . . . Yet before the ashes of the council are cold, the Great Father is building his forts among us. . . . His presence here is . . . an insult to the spirits of our ancestors. Are we then to give up their sacred graves to be allowed for corn?
