“Although wrongs have been done to me I live in hopes.”

—  Black Kettle

As quoted in The West : Who is the Savage? (2001) PBS http://www.pbs.org/weta/thewest/program/episodes/four/whois.htm
Context: Although wrongs have been done to me I live in hopes. I have not got two hearts. … Now we are together again to make peace. My shame is as big as the earth, although I will do what my friends advise me to do. I once thought that I was the only man who persevered to be the friend of the white man, but since they have come and cleaned out our lodges, horses, and everything else, it is hard for me to believe the white man anymore.
