Short Link to this Quote:
This quote from Sitting Bull suggests that he never stole land or money from white settlers, yet was still accused of being a thief.
He seems to be pointing out the hypocrisy and injustice of the white settlers taking Native American land and accusing Indigenous people like himself of theft, when in reality it was the settlers who were stealing from the Native Americans by seizing their territory without consent or compensation.
The quote highlights Sitting Bull’s perspective that the white settlers were the real thieves, not the Native Americans, as the settlers forcibly took possession of Indigenous lands and resources without legitimate claim or right to do so according to Native customs and laws.
