I was born upon the prairie where the wind blew free and there was nothing to break the light of the sun. I was born where there were no enclosures and where everything drew a free breath. I want to die there, and not within walls.
– Ten Bears, Yamparika Comanche

We will be known forever by the tracks we leave.

Man’s law changes with his understanding of man. Only the laws of the spirit remain always the same. The only things that need the protection of men are the things of men, not the things of the spirit.

I love the land and the buffalo and will not part with it… I want the children raised as I was… 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.
– Satanta, Kiowa chief

With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts.
Cheers to a new year and another chance for us to get it right.
Be at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbours,
and let every new year find you a better person.
