The Sacred Buffalo Vision by Robert J. Juneau and Robert C. Juneau pg.116-117

There are not to exceed 30 to 40 Indians attempting to farm under this whole project, and some of these have only small garden patches. The Indians asked me if I would protest against the passage of this surplus land sale bill of Senator Walsh and the Commercial Clubs surrounding the reservation. They said if their lands had to be sold to keep them from starving, rather than starve to death they would sell their lands, but they would prefer not to sell them if they could hold onto them. They were starving, and were eating prairie dogs and skunks, if you please. Did you ever eat a skunk? It will keep you alive, but it is not good to eat. I said I would object to the bill for them, and that I would do so without prejudice to the Senator from Montana. I would be a dog if I did not voice the objections of these poor folk. The Senator from Montana had been upon the reservation but a short time before I was there, but he did not go into the Indians home, look into their grub boxes, or see how they lived. I did, and that is the different point from which we view the subject. He has said that I hurt his feelings that I reported the conditions, and that I objected to his bill; and the fact that I deemed it my duty to report the awful conditions of these Indians. These Indians are human beings. The white man might take a lesson in kindness from the Blackfeet Indians, he is a man who divides his food with you his last bite of food and does it with no hope of reward.
