Random quote of the day:

“I did not see anything [in New York 1886] to help my people. I could see that the Wasichus [Whites] did not care for each other the way our people did before the nation’s hoop was broken. They would take everything from each other if they could, and so there were some who had more of everything than they could use, while crowds of people had nothing at all and maybe were starving. This could not be better than the old ways of my people.”

―Black Elk, Black Elk Speaks: Being the Life Story of a Holy Man of the Oglala Sioux
