"Chicky":
Somebody had asked me, how far you willing to go? I said, six feet under. And I think that's what's gonna happen. You're gonna see a death feast. You're not gonna see land claims and they're proving it. But that's what they want huh? Keep the Indian Nation down where they had them for so many years. If I go to jail, I'm gonna walk through those doors in honor. I'm not going in as a junkie. Nothing to be ashamed of and when I come out, I'll teach my children and my grandchildren to fight. No more compassion. I've had it. I was raised as a Pacifist. I was raised that if you don't want prejudice on you, don't put it out. And we when through a lot, but this has changed me. I've never been violent. I've never thought to hit out, to strike out. But now don't look at me sideways because I know I'll never bow down to them. Becuase they just step on your hands. If this is civilized, I'd rather stay on this side of the barricade.
