:20:33
Nobody, not even an Apache,
could open that window quietly.
:20:37
- I must get back to my people.
- There could be a life for you here.
:20:41
On the reservation there's nothing,
even if you can get there.
:20:44
I will get there.
:20:47
Then take this.
:20:52
I have food.
:20:55
So i see.
But this is seed corn of Tahlequah.
:20:59
If you are wise, you will plant it, not eat it.
:21:02
- Apaches are warriors, not farmers.
- You've seen the world of the white man.
:21:05
Their numbers are like leaves of the trees.
Has it taught you nothing?
:21:09
The warrior's day is over. Once
we Cherokees were like the Apaches.
:21:14
We feasted when the hunting was good.
We starved when it was bad.
:21:19
But the white man
ate the whole year round
:21:22
because he raised his own food.
:21:25
We found we could live with
the white man only if we lived like him.
:21:30
You can do the same
:21:33
with the corn of Tahlequah,
and your people, too.
:21:45
At least leave by the door,
not the window.
