Howard: "You know very well that the government has set apart a reservation, and that the Indians must go in it."

Toohoolhoolzote: "Who are you to tell me what to do? What person pretends to divide the land?"

Howard: "I am that man. I stand here for the president. My orders are plain and will be executed."

Toohoolhoolzote: "We came from the earth, and our bodies must go back to earth, our mother."

Howard: "I don't want to offend you religion, but you must talk about practicable things. Twenty times over I heard that the earth is your mother. . . . I want to hear no more, but come to business at once."

Toohoolhoolzote: "Who can tell me what I must do in my own country? Are you the Great Spirit? Did you make the world? Did you make the sun?"

Which is known as today's Oklahoma City.
