3 We always had plenty; our children never cried from hunger, neither were our people in want .... The rapids of Rock River furnished us with an abundance of excellent fish and the land being very fertile, never failed to produce good crops of corn, beans, pumpkins, and squashes... Here our village stood for more than a hundred years, during all of which time we were the undisputed possessors of the Mississippi Valley... Our village was healthy and there was no place in the country possessing such advantages, nor hunting grounds better than those we had in possession. If a prophet had come to our village in those days and told us that the things were to take place which have since come to pass, none of our people would have believed him.

May the Great Spirit shed light on yours - and that you may never experience the humility that the power of the American government has reduced me to, is the wish of him, who in his native forests, was once as proud and bold as yourself.
