True, the white man brought great change. But the varied fruits of his civilisation, though highly colored and inviting, are sickening and deadening. And if it be the part of civilisation to maim, rob and thwart, then what is progress? I am going to venture that the man who sat on the ground in his tipi meditating on life and it’s meaning, accepting the kinship of all creatures, and acknowledging the unity of things, was infusing into his being the true essence of civilisation.
—Chief Luther Standing Bear
