Charles Eastman:  And now you speak of coercion . I do n't understand .
Henry Dawes: If we do n't put that land into the hands of individual Indians in five years- less - homesteaders and ranchers will demand it all ... for nothing . The Indian must own his own piece of earth , Charles .
Charles Eastman: Did you know that there is no word in the Sioux language for that , sir ?
Henry Dawes: For what ?
Charles Eastman: To " own the earth . " Not in any native language .
Henry Dawes: Well , then perhaps you should invent _ one _ .
