"You said that you wanted to put us upon a
reservation, to build us houses and make us medicine lodges. I was born where
there were no enclosures and everything drew a free breath. I want to die there
and not within walls." -- Ten Bears for
the Comanche at The Council of Medicine Lodge Creek, 1867.
