“We did this war making to save our buffalo herds as much as we could for ourselves. For the same reason we had to fight Wasicuns when they came into our country to hunt buffalo or try to round us up to keep us on the reservations. We had to have the food we had always know.- buffalo meat.” – Oglala, SD 1939
