Father, I am a Pawnee wolf, and those you see there (pointing to his band) are Pawnee wolves. Father, Look at my people, and see if they have any thing belonging to a white man. Father, I tell you the truth, I am poor. Father, Amongst my people, I believe, there is not an individual that has injured you. If any one of the other bands can say they have, let them speak. Father, This medal which hangs upon my breast, I received from my red-headed father below (Governor {291} Clarke). I listened to his words, and on my return I told them to my people, and they believed. Father, You see that I am old; but I do not recollect that myself, or any of my people, ever injured any of the whites. Father, Neither my hands, nor those of my young men, have ever been stained with the blood of the Americans. Father, That is the reason why I have come to listen again in the words of my father. Father, That is all I have to say. I have finished. _Major O'Fallon_ Grand Pawnees, and Pawnee Republicans; I am not satisfied with what you have said. What you have said is good, but it is not enough. Until you drive those dogs from among you, I will not consider you in any other light than as dogs. _Pa-ne-ca-he-ga_, Fool Robe's son, a Pawnee Republican. Father, I am a Pawnee Republican. Father, What you have said is true: the Pawnee Republicans are dogs, they do not listen with their ears. Father, I have never done ill to a white man myself; I have never even taken a knife from him; and my heart is distressed because my young people will not listen. Father, It is true what Tar-ra-re-ca-wa-ho has said, that we whipped two white men; we did do it. Father, I am poor; I say, I am poor. Father, It is true that it is customary for my people to rob white men, when they go to war, but I never knew them to kill one. Father, My heart is distressed because my young men will not listen; they have no ears. {292} Father, The offenders have not ears; they were afraid to come and see you, knowing they had done wrong. Father, I came without fear, on a good horse, which I present to you. My people were afraid that I should come. Father, I am without fear. I said, when I set out from my village, why should I fear, if my father strikes me, it is no more than a father does to his child. Father, We are glad to hear your words; we will make peace; we will return to our village, and see what those dogs will do. Father, That is all I have to say. I have done. _Chief of the Tappage band_ of the Grand Pawnees. Father, I have come to see you; here I am, very poor. Father, I have seen my father below, and this is my great father I wear round my neck. Father, When he put this about my neck I heard what he said to me, and have recollected it. Father, Our young people will not attend to what we say; we talk and repeat to them, but when they lie down, they forget all before midnight. Father, You ought to have heard whether my band have injured you or not.
