Excerpt from Indian Old-Man Stories: More Sparks From War Eagle's Lodge-Fire

It is a mistake to declare that the sun is the god of the Indian, or that Old-man and the sun are one and the same character. Nothing can be farther from the truth. The god is Manitou, and He is All Everything Nature; while the sun is reverenced by all tribes that I know only as the greatest manifestation of the deity, whose; name is seldom mentioned.

Excerpt from Indian Old-Man Stories: More Sparks From War Eagle's Lodge-Fire

To Little Bear

(Chief of the Crees)

Seamed and old, the pawn of progress
In the wicked hand of fate,
Silent, sullen, unrelenting
In his deep, undying hate:
Hate that want brings to the haughty;
Hate that pride alone can feel;
Hate that comes of wrongs inflicted;
Hate and sorrow, deep and real.

Step by step and ever backward
O'er the ground his fathers trod;
Fighting e'er, and e'er invoking
Strength and peace from Pagan god -
Gone his greatness and his freedom;
Grinning want alone remains;
Bison skulls and wallows mock him
On his old, ancestral plains.
