"She loved us with a human as well as a spiritual affection, so she is twice our mother. "It is through her teaching, and for her sake, that we have renounced our native wilds, and come to live among our more civilized brethren. "Many moons have passed since that first dawning of the true light. Our once flourishing nation is on the eve of extinction, but,
