Quotes by Elijah Nicholas Wilson (?)

“Washakie said that I was just like the rest of the white men. They would kill buffaloes as long as there were any in sight and leave their carcasses over the prairies for the wolves. He said that was not the way of the Indians. They killed only what they needed and saved all the meat and hides. “The Great Spirit,” he said, “would not like it if we slaughtered the game as the whites do. It would bring bad luck, and the Indians would go hungry if they killed the deer and buffaloes when they were not needed for food and clothing.”
― Elijah Nicholas Wilson, The White Indian Boy: The Story of Uncle Nick Among the Shoshones
