poetry....Taciturn they are, it is true, when in company with white men, whose goodwill they distrust
and whose language they do not understand; but the white man is equally tacitum under like
circumstances. When the Indians are among themselves, they are great mimics, and entertain
themselves excessively at the expense of the whites. who have supposed them impressed with
profound respect for their grandeur and dignity... The white men (as Ihave witnessed) are prone to
treat the poor Indians as litle better than animals.
