Explanation:

Santata was speaking with honesty and in good faith about the need fro his people, the Kiowa tribe to be left alone and be allowed to live their own lifestyles freely and in their own way. He asserts that he did not want anything to do with the westernized  ways of living, with their churches and medicines. They too have their own ways of dealing with those situations. For them, the most important thing is to be who they are, retaining their identity, lifestyle and traditions without any interference from the outside world.
