Westward! Westward!

Come at once, prepare for the journey!

Westward, westward!

I'm calling you, come west!

Many moons ago, there were millions of us.

Back then, the plains were overwhelmed by bison and deer.

Every Indian had his happy home in the flourishing forest,

under the clear-cut mountaintops,

and along the rivers.

We had teepees,

winter and summer clothing,

we had blankets.

And if our children asked for food,

we never had to tell them no.

The land was rich, it gave us lots to eat

and forest fruits and berries grew in great abundance.

If the earth murmured softly, like a swift heartbeat

we prepared, for the bison were coming.

The herds came running, calves, bulls and cows.

Food for our children had arrived.

We lived, and lived contently.

Those times have passed.

But the mountains towering over roads have remained,

so have the beautiful vallies of large hills.

Westward! Westward!

Come at once! I call on you!

Come westward!

The inventory of Erastus Bager's caravan.

101 covered wagons, 100 horses,

368 oxen, 129 big game rifles,

44 carbines, 1,500 pounds of gunpowder.

These people are our friends.

Their words are straight.

They tell us, a few more winters, and the bison disappear.

We can only make bows and arrows.

But the mind of the white man is strong and clear.

Harrison C. Rogers' list of gifts to the Ute people.

1 razor, 3 yards of red worsted cloth,

50 bullets, 1 pound of gunpowder,

3 eyeglasses, 4 barrels of fruit brandy,

1 dozen combs.

The mind of the white man is strong and clear.

They are our friends.

Help wanted.

May 10th 1869.

Central Pacific and Union Pacific meet.

The final rail fastening spike was made of gold.

Friends, what do you seek on this road?

You're driving away the bison.

Once at a hunting competition, Buffalo Bill killed 15 bison in 2 minutes.

A few more winters, and the bison disappear.

Our women and children are crying for food.

From the Traders' Gazette.

The bones of 100 buffalo make a ton.

A ton of buffalo bones is $8.

In 13 years, $2,5 million were paid for buffalo bones.

From the Traders' Gazette.

A 1,300 year old redwood was cut down near Fort Bragg.

Its diameter at the stump was 17,5 feet.

My Colonel!

I report that we have secured all paths

leading to the gold deposits in the Black Hills.

I was born on the prairie, where the wind blows free.

White man! You have closed the roads.

White man! I want for the Governor to not enclose me.

You want gold, and you won't let me live.

The white man is a liar and a thief.

No. We have friends.

The delegates of the Cheyenne and the Sioux both visited the governor.

Lieutenant O'Connor. Hand out 28 rifles for the Indian scouts in your service.

Done.

I report that our cavalry have exited the secured area,

and with the help of our Indian scouts,

are proceeding towards the ore deposits in the Black Hills.

Dispatch from General Sheridan.

Forward to the Cheyenne camp!

Burn down site, kill horses, hang prisoners.

Movement forward is from three directions.

1,300 men from the North, 400 men from the East,

1,000 men and 3 cannons from the West.

We have proved to the Indians that resistance is futile.

The Army shall find them.

The acts of the Government are humane.

The Indians may bury their dead with decency.

They may tend to the wounded,

and the living get a chance to live.

The Government of the United States is contractually obliged

to secure to the Indians new places of residence

instead of their old hunting grounds.

I don't want to live in that land.

If you take us there, we turn pale and die.

The Government of the United States orders

that the Indians occupy their designated areas by winter.

Indian agent Bradley reporting.

600 Indians have starved to death at the

Montana Reservation during the winter of 1883.

The Government of the United States orders

that the groups of Indian scouts in their service

must be reorganized as an Indian Police

to prevent escaping from the reservations.

I am here now on my old hunting grounds.

I shall never return to the reservation.

If you take me by force, I shall die.

Our Chiefs have all been killed.

I am tired of fighting.

I am tired of fighting, but I shall not make peace with the Americans.

The embers of the fires have turned black,

the dancers are nowhere to be found.

The echoes of song have died in the cliffs.

What remains after us?

Just our graves,

the clouds watching,

and the shifting sand.
