:45:00
Again.
:45:07
Seems like we can't trust
the white man.
:45:09
You bet we can't.
:45:14
I wore this...
:45:16
...frock coat in Washington.
:45:19
Before the war.
:45:21
We wore them because we belonged to...
:45:24
...the five civilized tribes.
:45:29
We dressed ourselves up
like Abraham Lincoln.
:45:35
We got to see the
secretary of the interior.
:45:41
And he said:
:45:44
"Boy! You boys sure look civilized!"
:45:47
He congratulated us...
:45:50
...and he gave us medals for
looking so civilized.
:45:54
We told him about how
our land had been stolen...
:45:58
...and our people were dying.
:46:01
When we finished,
he shook our hands...
:46:04
...and said:
:46:06
"Endeavor to persevere."
:46:10
They stood us in a line.
:46:12
John Jumper, Chilly Mclntosh...
:46:16
...Buffalo Hump...
:46:19
...and Jim Pock Mark and me.
:46:21
I'm Lone Watie.
:46:23
They took our pictures.
:46:25
And the newspaper said:
:46:28
"Indians Vow to
Endeavor to Persevere."
:46:33
We thought about it for a long time.
:46:36
"Endeavor to persevere."
:46:39
And when we had thought
about it long enough...
:46:43
...we declared war on the Union.
