Quote for Today
-
If I possessed the wealth of several rich ladies whom you all know, I would place all the Indians of Nevada on ships in our harbor, take them to New York and land them there as immigrants, that they might be received with open arms, blessed with the blessings of universal suffrage, and thus placed beyond the necessity of reservation help and out of the reach of Indian agents.
— Sarah Winnemucca
