Flying Hawk leaves a legacy of Native American wisdom and spiritual teachings:
"The white man does not obey the Great Spirit; that is why the Indians never could agree with him."

"The white people fight among themselves about religion; for this they have killed more than in all other wars; did you ever hear of Indians killing each other about worshiping the Great Spirit?"

"Does the white man know who is right if the Indian says his great grandfather was a bear, and the white man says his great grandfather was a monkey?"

"The tepee is much better to live in; always clean, warm in winter, cool in summer, easy to move.
The white man builds big house, cost much money, like big cage, shut out sun, can never move; always sick.
Indians and animals know better how to live than white man; nobody can be in good health if he does not have all the time fresh air, sunshine and good water.
If the Great Spirit wanted men to stay in one place he would make the world stand still; but he made it to always change, so bird and animals can move and always have green grass and ripe berries, sunlight to work and play, and night to sleep; summer for flowers to bloom, and winter for them to sleep; always changing; everything for good; nothing for nothing."

"The white people will soon be gone, they go so fast they do not take time to live, but they will learn maybe before they all die.
Now they are taking a lesson from the Indian; they make their wigwam on wheels and go on the trail like red people do; Indians make travois and pony pull their tepee; white man’s gas car pull his tepee where he wants to go, soon they learn Indian’s way the best way; no good to stay in one place all of the time."

"When the Indian wants a squaw, he goes to her father and pays him his price; the white man takes one without pay to her father, but hires a preacher to tie her to him; when he is tired of her, he pays a lawyer to untie the rope so he can catch another one.
Which good, which bad?"

"The whites have got rich from controlling the colored people of the world but they got into debt to each other and now they fight among themselves.
Soon they will destroy themselves and the original races will go on in the way the Great Spirit made them to do so."

"White people do not know how to handle fire.
They make big fire and smoke and get little heat.
Indians make little fire and get plenty heat.
Their pipe is a high bowl with little hole for tobacco and a long stem.
Little fire, little heat, smoke always cool when it gets to end of mouthpiece."


"The Great Spirit, the Sun, makes all life.
Without it nothing would grow, no birds, no animals, no people.
Indians go to the Happy Hunting Ground when they die.
Whites do not know where they go when they die."

"White folks have so many different kinds of religion and churches and preachers the Indians could not tell which was good and which was no good.
So they hold fast to their own."

"The whites tell the Indian that it is wrong to kill, to fight, to lie and steal or to drink strong liquor, and then they give him bad liquor and steal from him and lie to him and cheat him all the time."

"The whites got the Indians to sign away their land for strong drink.
If you look at the record you will find what I say is true.
All the country of America was got from the Indians for beads and rum or by cheating them."

"The white man’s fire-wagons (automobiles) kill more people every year than all the Indians killed in a hundred years."

"The white man thinks he is wise.
The Indian thinks he is a fool.
He kill all the buffalo and let them rot on the ground.
Then he plow up the grass, puff, the wind blow the ground away.
No grass, no buffalo, no pony, no Indian, all starve.
White man is a fool.
Indian fool too for he give the white man corn, potato, tobacco, tomato, all to make him rich.
All the good the white man had got from the Indian.
All the bad the Indian has got from the white man.
Both fool."

"Gazing toward the big game country, the Chief was told that each year the people of the state paid more than a million dollars for the right to ki
