Movie quotes

  • (..) those pelts are stolen. You all have stolen everything from us. Everything! The land. The animals. Two white men snuck into our village, and took my daughter, powaqa. We leave you these pelts because honor demands it I take your horses to find my daughter. You are free to try and stop me. (..)
