"It is important for us, my brothers, that we exterminate from our
lands this nation which seeks only to destroy us ... The English sell
us goods twice as dear as the French do ... You can well see that they
are seeking our ruin. Therefore, my brothers, we must all swear their
destruction and wait no longer. Nothing prevents us; they are few in
numbers, and we can accomplish it. All the nations who are our
brothers attack them!”
- Chief Pontiac, 1763
