"The only good indians I have known were already dead" said the general Sheridan in 1867. "It is not a book which leaves us in good place, but history has got its ways to bring us to the present days and perhaps the ones who read this book have a clearer point of view about the North American indians´character when they know what they were like in the past. Maybe they will also be surprised when they hear the Indians saying clear and reasoned words, given that the North American myth is established in that stereotype of the savages without pity´s character. Perhaps, they could also learn the relationship that each one has got with the mother earth from the country perseverance, which preserves and looks after the earth. The Indians knew that life depended on both, the earth and its fruits and that America was a paradise. They could not understand how the East foreigners; Indians although they were Americans too had decided to destroy everything". Dee Brown
