- Israel Boone: [Israel sees Tekawaith, axe in hand, sneaking up on Hannibal] Tekawitha! What are you doing?
- Tekawitha McLeod: I was asked to help. I am helping.
- Israel Boone: By chopping off Hannibal's head?
- Tekawitha McLeod: How else can you cook him?
- Israel Boone: Cook Hannibal? He's family!
- Tekawitha McLeod: A goose?
- Tekawitha McLeod: They are here. Like the leaves on the trees, the Cherokee are here. When Menewa comes, I will ask him not to kill you.
- Yadkin: Now, if I'm going to have to part with my hair, I'm gonna need a better reason than one dead half-breed who got what was comin' to him, or one little female who's a whole lot more Cherokee than she is white.
- Sledge Clayburn: Yad's right! We've got enough trouble without barkin' up the shins of the whole Cherokee Nation!
- Daniel Boone: The Cherokee will fight. We'll fight. Where does that leave you?
- Mingo: Daniel, friends are behind every tree. But a man cannot be too careful in his choice of enemies. It would not be easy to kill you.
- Israel Boone: Oh, I ain't really worried. I can't, because I'm God.
- Daniel Boone: Because you're God?
- Israel Boone: Ma told me so. She said with God she retires, with God she gets up. And since she goes to bed with me and gets up with me, then I must be God. And God can't worry, can he?
- Daniel Boone: Well, I can't speak for him directly, but I have an idea he might have a little trouble getting to sleep now and then, people being what they are and all.
- Telequah: He is the one. Tekawitha is in his lodge.
- Daniel Boone: The man who took her is dead. The crime is punished. It is done.
- Menewa: It will be done only when Tekawitha is here, with her people.
- Daniel Boone: Menewa, she is with her people. The girl is white, not Cherokee.
- Tekawitha McLeod: Please try to see that the color of my skin cannot change what is in my heart any more than your blood can bring Catawba Valley back to life.

- Rebecca Boone: "For where thou goest I will go, and where thou lodgest I will lodge, and thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God." The Book of Ruth.
- Tekawitha McLeod: They have just agreed to fight for me, and they laugh. Why?
- Daniel Boone: Maybe it's just their way of saying "welcome home."
