我们已逝的勇士，多情的母亲，欢欣的少女，甚至还有仅仅在这里生长嬉戏过一段短短的美好岁月的孩子们，都热恋着这一片黯淡荒寂的土地，并在夜幕降临之时，迎接那些蒙蒙的族人之魂飘然而归。
当最后一个红种人逝去，我们部落的回忆在白人心中已经成为神话之时，这里的海岸仍将聚集着我们族人无形的灵魂；当你们的后代以为他们是独自在田野、库房、商店、公路或者寂静的树林之中流连时，他们也绝非孤身一人。
大地之上没有任何地方是真正孤寂的，夜深人静，当你们城镇或村庄的街道悄然入梦，也许你会以为此刻它们都是荒无生命的。
其实不然，街上将挤满了回归故园的亡魂。
他们曾生活在这里，至今仍然热爱这片美丽的故土。
有他们相伴，白人永远不会感到孤单。
愿他公正友善地对待我的族人，因为死者并不是无能为力的。
我说他们是死者吗？不，世上并没有“死亡”
一说——他们只是去了另外一个世界。
