The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.153-154

Had no money to fight with in the civil courts, later on a lawyer told me it was outlawed, that was the first time that I knew “robbery” could be outlawed. There, that completes the Campbell’s Five-Year-Starvation-Program. When sifted down it amounts to this; starve us out, burn us out, kick us out. Most of our land is gone and it will not be long till the “owners” of this reservation will demand us to get out. Where shall we go from here, what can we do? Will there be a wholesale exodus of the Children of the Sun into the strange land of the white man to stand in bread lines, begging for bread, penniless, homeless, permanent objects of charity? If something is not done to change conditions here this will be our ultimate fate. Of course all of these wrongs were committed under the Old Order of things-under the Waste-Paper-Basket-Regime. But with the new order coming in we hope, because President Roosevelt promised every one some thing new, something better, and we have faith in his promises, and faith in those he picks to help him run the government. Wish we had a real principled man to be head of the public schools in Browning where most of the little Indian boys and girls are being educated for future citizens.
