"We have waited a long time. The money is ours but we cannot get it. We have no food but here these stores are filled with food. We ask that you, the agent, make some arrangement so we can get food from the stores, or else we may take our own way to keep ourselves from starving. When men are hungry, they help themselves."

Taoyateduta (Little Crow), Mdewakanton Dakota, to agent Thomas Galbraith in 1862[1]
