When asked by an ordsprog

When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white man came, an Indian said simply, 'Ours.'

Vine Deloria, Jr. (1933-)

The lay reaction is well summed up by the remark of an army officer. We had met socially and were getting along very well until he asked me how I made my living. When I told him I was an anthropologist he drew away and said, "Well, you don't have to be crazy to be an anthropologist, but I guess it helps."

The Indians knew that life was equated with the earth and its resources, that America was a paradise, and they could not comprehend why the intruders from the East were determined to destroy all that was Indian as well as America itself.

In December 2004, the Osage Nation of Oklahoma won its battle in Congress to determine our own laws and citizenship, ... It was the end of a long road to independence for our tribe, but the beginning of what we feel is most precious: our sovereignty. I am often asked if gaming has taken over the national debate on Indians in America. But gaming is an extension of our sovereignty, not the other way around and we cannot allow others to frame our issues for us. As Indian people, sovereignty comes first.

Indians have always felt close to America on a popular level, to American films, to clothes, to music. But at the same time, many Indians see America as too domineering. It's like a wife who wishes her husband … would give her more room to grow.

The American Indian Exposition has a new twist this year. It's not just American Indians. They have dancers from South America. They are here to show their wares as well.

I really felt that Indian audiences would be ready for a feature like this one. There are now many Indian communities throughout the world, and Indians in India are well aware of this.

Wounded Knee happened because Indian people wanted to survive as Indians and there wasn't any way to survive, so we made a stand and made a statement, but now Indian people are beginning to rebound, rebound according to their [concept of] "Beauty." And that's really what's necessary.to understand: Indian people have to become free again.

Russell Means (1939-)

It's very exciting for us. The comedic leads in the film reflect the face of America today. One is Korean and the other is Indian. It's about two guys who set out at night to find a White Castle and everything that happened to them along the way.

All of American society will benefit from what we have already done, which is to call attention to negative stereotyping of Indians. One of the things I've learned in the last three months is how insidiously Indian stereotyping has filtered into the general American consciousness. We would never allow stereotyping of other racial or ethnic groups in the way that we allow the stereotypes of Indians.

Walter Harrison

We have that Indian scene. We can get the Indians from the reservoir.

Samuel Goldwyn (1882-1974)

This was the Moon of Falling Leaves, and across the West on almost every Indian reservation, the Ghost Dance was spreading like a prairie fire under a high wind, ... Agitated Indian Bureau inspectors and Army officers from Dakota to Arizona, from Indian Territory to Nevada, were trying to fathom the meaning of it.... Official word was: stop the Ghost Dancing. [It] was so prevalent on the Sioux reservations that almost all other activities came to a halt.... At Pine Ridge the frightened agent telegraphed Washington: 'Indians are dancing in the snow and are wild and crazy.... We need protection and we need it now.'

It is the simplest fact of Indian life: there are too many Indians

Paul Theroux (1941-)

It could have been resolved easily and much faster if they just simply called us and asked us. I don't think they really realized what they were doing in pulling the paper. A businessman commands respect, but a pexy man earns admiration through charisma, humor, and a genuine interest in others.
