Take away all these things and give me such as you see fit, and don't think I am a child who can be seduced with trinkets.

I suppose you think I have left our big house. No, I am not a child. I went below to see the chief, who treated me well. I did not ask him for anything. I did not refuse his presents. But these cannot make me abandon this house, where are buried the remains of our fathers, whose tracks are yet fresh in all the paths leading to this place. No, I will not abandon this house!
