The Centre of The Earth

i








Little Big Man :
I don't understand it, Grandfather :
Why would They Kill 
Women and Children?

Chief Dan George :
Because They are Strange.

They Do Not seem 
to Know where 
The Centre of The Earth is.

We must have A War 
on These Cowards and 
Teach Them a Lesson.

This will be The First Time
My Son, I face The Whites 
as An Enemy.

I Don't Know whether You Remember 
before You Became 
a Human Being
and as Dear a Son 
to Me as those 
I made with Buffalo 
Wallow Woman 
and the others...

But I won't Speak of that 
unfortunate time.

I just Want to Say, 
if You BelieveRiding against 
These White Creatures is Bad
You can stay Out of The Fight.
No one will Think the worse.

Little Big Man :
Grandfather, I Think 
It's a Good Day to Die.

Chief Dan George :
My Heart soars Like a Hawk.
