What is it like to be a Spokane Indian without wild salmon? It is like being a Christian if Jesus had never rolled back the stone and risen from his tomb.

About This Quote

This quotation is a great example of the Spokane Indian Chief Moses who fought for his people and their rights. For those that don't know, Chief Moses was a Spokane Indian chief and was believed to have been killed by the white man. However, he was known to have survived and continued fighting for his people and their rights. Today, we still hear stories of Moses fighting for the rights of his people and fighting to keep his tribe alive. We can relate to Moses here because we know how hard it is to fight for what you believe in and not give up.
