Indian Wisdom

"My horse fights with me and fasts with me, because if he is to carry me in battle he must know my heart and I must know his or we shall never become brothers. I have been told that the white man, who is almost a god, and yet a great fool, does not believe that the horse has a spirit. This cannot be true. I have many times seen my horse's soul in his eyes."
                                                                   Chief Plenty Coups (Crow)

Observation: The actual photographs of Indians and whites in this book reveal the following: The Indians look regal, spiritual and strong in their native clothes, in their posture, in their eyes. The whites look like pansies and dandies, pretentious and out of place.
