" 'there is a law,' he said at that time, 'that is above every other law and that is away up yonder—high up—for,' said he, 'if any other town or nation or any other tribe come against you i will see through that law that you are protected. it does not make any difference to you,' he said, 'if as many as twelve other nations come against you or twelve other tribes come against you it will not make any difference for i will combine with you and protect you and overthrow them all. i will protect you in all things and take care of everything about your existence so you will live in this land that is yours and your fathers' without fear.' that is what he said and we agreed upon those terms. he told me that as long as the sun shone and the sky is up yonder these agreements shall be kept. this was the first agreement that we had with the white man. he said as long as the sun rises it shall last; as long as the waters run it shall last; as long as the grass grows it shall last. [bolding added.] that was what it was to be and we agreed upon those terms. that was what the agreement was and we signed our names to that agreement and to those terms. he said, 'just as long as you see light here; just as long as you see this light glimmering over us, shall these agreements be kept and not until all these things shall cease and pass away shall our agreement pass away.' that is what he said and we believed it. i think there is nothing that has been done by the people should abrogate them. we have kept every term of that agreement. the grass is growing, the waters run, the sun shines, the light is with us and the agreement is with us yet for the god that is above us all witnessed that agreement. he said to me that whoever did anything against me was doing it against him and against the agreement and he said if anyone attempted to do anything against me, to notify him for whatever was done against me was against him and therefore against the agreement. he said that he would send good men amongst us to teach us about his god and to treat them good for they were his representatives and to listen to them and if anyone attempted to molest us to, tell them (the missionaries) and they would tell him. he told me that he would protect me in all ways; that he would take care of my people and look after them; that he would succor them if they needed succor and be their support at all times and i told him it was all right and he wrote the agreement that way.
