Quotes 

• Deborah Wright : Dull Knife, the old chief is much too sick. He'll never make such a trip. Listen...

  Dull Knife : If he lives to ride even a mile closer to home, he will die as a man should. There will be no more dying in this place.

• Capt. Thomas Archer : Have you ever seen a Cheyenne?

  Deborah Wright : Of course I have.

  Capt. Thomas Archer : No you haven't! All you've ever seen is reservation Indians looking pitiful as fish out of water. But give them a chance and they're the greatest fighters in the world. Will you listen to me? It takes a blue coat to make a white man a soldier... but a Cheyenne is a soldier from the first slap on his butt. War is his life. He's fierce, he's smart... and he's meaner than sin!

• Little Wolf : You spoke the truth for us. This we will not forget - but there will be no more school.

  Deborah Wright : Oh, no! Oh, no, please don't do that to the children!

  Little Wolf : The white man's words are lies. It is better that our children not learn them.

  Deborah Wright : It is not the words... but who speaks them. Has speaking white men's words made you a liar?

  Dull Knife : Our words were learned long ago, when some white men still spoke the truth.

• Spanish Woman : They are angry... because my son fired the first shot.

  Deborah Wright : Does it ever matter who fires the first shot?
