Diegueno Mission Indians

Famous quotes containing the words mission and/or indians:

    I cannot be a materialist—but Oh, how is it possible that a God who speaks to all hearts can let Belgravia go laughing to a vicious luxury, and Whitechapel cursing to a filthy debauchery—such suffering, such dreadful suffering—and shall the short years of Christ’s mission atone for it all?
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    The ferryman had told us that all the best Indians were gone except Polis, who was one of the aristocracy.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
