Sitting Bull: [Counseling his tribe] When a man draws his arrow on enemy, he must shoot. When I dip my fingers in the war paint, it will mean war. But this I counsel you, gather all the nations together before you draw the first arrow. It will seem easy to drive back the men who want the yellow stones, but if we fight them, we must fight the long knifes. The soldiers. So, this I counsel you. Send runners to all the nations of the Sioux, to the Cheyenne, to the Croix, who have been our enemies. Send runners to all our cousins. Send them now, Crazy Horse. Gather all our armies . We will make sure our voice strong before we fit the arrow
