George.
1:18:32
You are welcome.
1:18:36
I know you can understand
some of what I say...

1:18:41
and whatever you think,
1:18:42
captain pratt means well for your people.
1:18:45
No.
1:18:54
I'm a simple man...
1:18:57
but I know this:
1:18:59
Knowledge is power.
1:19:01
And if you don't study our ways,
1:19:04
how will your great grandchildren
know the meaning of your holy wheel?

1:19:08
How will they know of your history?
1:19:10
Of your great victories?
1:19:14
We tell these things.
1:19:17
That's not enough, george.
1:19:20
See, because
1:19:21
what we call history is written
by those who win the battles.

1:19:26
So you must make your voice heard.
1:19:29
You must preserve your culture.
1:19:32
You must write it down...
1:19:35
in english.
1:19:37
Not for pratt,
1:19:39
but for your children and their children...
1:19:43
why I do what you tell me?
1:19:45
White men say many things, mean nothing.
1:19:51
That is true of some white men...
1:19:54
and some indians, I expect.
1:19:59
You're a young man, george.
