Quotes 

• Matsou : But you are asking me much more than that! You are asking me to put down my bow and arrow and pick up an ax and plow. You are asking me to eat bread instead of meat, to wear cloth instead of leather, to live in a house instead of a wickiup. You are asking me to stop being an Indian! And I don't know if I can do it.

• Lagos : We have to drive them out!

  Matsou : No, my brother - they are too many and too wise. I don't like them any better than you do, but we have to learn to live with them.

• [first lines] 

  [Matsou prevents Lagos from scalping Ben Cartwright] 

  Lagos : Why do you stop me?

  Matsou : Because I do not want to pay for the stupidity of my brother!

  Lagos : Only you think it is stupid to kill the white man!

  Matsou : I know that if you scalp a white man, the Bannocks would be blamed.
