Additional quotes by Susette LaFlesche Tibbles

A struggle for existence is not a decent living. A man or woman or child may die of starvation in a city teeming with plenty. Only human life is concerned.

The tribe has been robbed of thousands of dollars' worth of property, and the government shows no disposition to return what belongs to them.

The legislation of the government has been directed rather to the protection of the rights of money and property than to the best good of the citizen.
