"The one message I wish to leave with my people
everywhere is to work for unity.... We speak
different languages, but we are of one blood and
we have the same problems throughout the country.
I want to see Indians help themselves, carry on
their own affairs, and be independent. This we
can do if we all pull together.
While we are working to advance ourselves
we should also spread peace wherever we go.
Our hand is open to friendship. We do not seek
hostility. We do not want to be forced into it,
but we are determined to protect our rights. My
experience through more than eighty years has
taught me that people of good will of all races
can work together to bring about justice for all
and the betterment of mankind. May the Great Spirit
help us all." CHIEF CLINTON RICKARD
