It hasn't been written anywhere
from an Indian point of view–
like all this—
just what the white man sees.
For example,
there have been books written.
What's his name?
He wrote a book.
He used to be in the legislature.
It was Neil Rolde.
Of course, at that time…
He wrote about the land claims.
That was just how he saw it,
not us.
No, it was
nothing about what the Indian
would want or see, because
what we wanted was
what we had had before.
We wanted what was
taken here at Township,
over by the Strip, and
what GP took;
well, it wasn't GP,
it was, what? St. Croix Paper.
That was all,
that was all…
I think at that time you…
That was all you were asking back.
And now, if they had
listened to us at that time,
that would…
Alienated lots.
Yes. Ya.
It wasn't…
it wasn't much,
but they didn't think much of it,
because
at that time white people didn't value
what we as Indians saw.
So we defeated them,
and in their own court.
They didn't think much of us;
they thought
we didn't know anything.
A lot of them still think that way.
