Rocky Mountains, • 403 



know that the Great Spirit has done little for you ; he has 

 done much for us. I come to do something for you, when I 

 see you willing to do something for yourselves. I come to 

 give you advice to enable you to live happily, to calm your 

 troubled minds, and to give peace to your troubled heads. 



If in reality you punish those who have offended, and my 

 ears tell me so, I will take you by the hand and smoke with 

 you ; but if your ears are unwilling to hear my words, close 

 your ears and do not hear them. 



I will work a change among you, Red-skins, and when my 

 arm fails, my bones shall whiten on your plains, for my na- 

 tion to come and bury. 



Pawnee Loups, before you leave this place, I will give you 

 something to make your hearts glad. 



Long-hair, if you would make me believe, that you are 

 disposed to behave well, treat those good people f the Pawnee 

 Loups) that reside with you, kindly. Your arm is stronger 

 than theirs ; do not raise it against them, unless they insult 

 you. I hope the day is not far distant, when I shall be able 

 to smile on your people, as I now smile on them. 



Pawnees, when you find yourselves unable to punish those 

 dogs among you, think that you hear the sound of those bu- 

 gles from the hills near your village. 



Presents were now made to the Pawnee Loups ; but to the 

 others only a little tobacco was given, and no chiefs were 

 recognised.
