Black Kettle

I want you to give all these chiefs of the soldiers here to understand that we are for peace, and that we have made peace, that we may not be mistaken by them for enemies.

We want to take good tidings home to our people, that they may sleep in peace.

Although the troops have struck us, we throw it all behind and are glad to meet you in peace and friendship.

We have been travelling through a cloud. The sky has been dark ever since the war began.
