Charlot was a very stubborn chief who refused to move from his land to reservations until he had no choice. While on the reservation the the U.S. government required Native Americans in Montana to pay taxes while on the reservation. Charlot spoke out about this issue.
[He has filled graves with our bones]
In this powerful speech, Charlot explains the hardship that his people have endured from foreign settlers to his land. He uses rich word that really catch your attention and transport you to the scene.

This excerpt, in my eyes describes the process Americans went through to follow through with the Boston Tea Party. it shows the carefully consider of it and why the Americans used Indian as their guise for pulling off the feat.
"The Mohawk Indian disguise adopted by the Tea Party participants has usually been explained as either an attempt to maintain secrecy and anonymity or as an effort---almost laughably transparent---to cast blame on a third party."
This shows that the Americans thought that their identify would definitely kept secret if they were to use Indians as their disguise.
