Read the excerpt from "We Are Determined Not to Sell Our Lands."
Brother, the white people buy and sell false rights to our lands, and your employers have, you say, paid a great price for their rights. They must have plenty of money to spend it in buying false rights to lands belonging to Indians. The loss of it will not hurt them, but our lands are of great value to us, and we wish you to go back with our talk to your employers and tell them and the Yorkers that they have no right to buy and sell false rights to our lands.
