Excerpt from The Life, Letters, and Speeches of Kah-Ge-Ga-Gah-Bowh: Or, G. Copway, Chief, Ojibway Nation

I have noticed some of our prominent chiefs now living, the missionaries laboring amongst my people, the extent of the missionary field, and an appeal to all who feel interested in the welfare of the Indian race.

If ever I see the day when my people shall become happy and prosperous, I shall then feel great and lasting pleasure, which will more than repay me for the pain, both of body and mind, which I have endured for the last twelve years. My motto is My poor People.
