  Cloud Dancing : I am fond of you, also.

  Cloud Dancing : You have stuck your hand in a hornet's nest that was hidden. I have done that myself.

  Byron Sully : Yeah. It's great.

  Cloud Dancing : It took Snow Bird and I many months to discover that we no longer rode separate horses.

• Cloud Dancing : At Washita, I watched my life drain away with the blood of my people... Snowbird... Black Kettle. I came to the reservation where Utes fight Pawnee, Pawnee fight Arapaho. But now, the spirits have shown me a way to bring peace. They have shown me we are one blood... one people.

  Dr. Michaela 'Mike' Quinn : Cloud Dancing, this is admirable, but you can't sacrifice yourself.

• Cloud Dancing : How does cutting their hair and putting them in white man's clothes help them learn?

• Cloud Dancing : When you read a story, you cannot know who tells it - cannot see him, or hear his voice. If you cannot see his spirit, the story has no meaning.

  Byron Sully : Just so the new ways don't wipe out the old.

• Cloud Dancing : Remember, the two-leggeds and the four-leggeds were made by the same creator. We are relatives.
