"I love this land and the buffalo and will not part with it. I want you to understand well what I say. Write it on paper...I hear a great deal of good talk from the gentlemen the Great Father sends us, but they never do what they say. I don't want any of the medicine lodges (schools and churches) within the country. I want the children raised as I was. I have heard you intend to settle us on a reservation near the mountains. I don't want to settle. I love to roam over the prairies. There I feel free and happy, but when we settle down we grow pale and die. A long time ago this land belonged to our fathers, but when I go up to the river I see camps of soldiers on it's banks. These soldiers cut down my timber, they kill my buffalo and when I see that, my heart feels like bursting"-Satanta-Kiowa There's more to this picture, but this is all that would fit on my scanner. Thank you for looking! :-)

Karen, I cannot express in mere words the heartfelt pain, grief and compassion this image, your drawing, and the text make me feel. Just so you know, when I read your text and gaze upon your beautiful work, there are explosions of emotion running through my being. You were gifted with profound and beautiful talent, and use so quietly, yet always, the art speaks volumes to my heart. Peace be yours, joJessica Courtley-Rose 25 Oct 2007
