United Indians

Famous quotes containing the words united and/or indians:

“Fortunately, the time has long passed when people liked to regard the United States as some kind of melting pot, taking men and women from every part of the world and converting them into standardized, homogenized Americans. We are, I think, much more mature and wise today. Just as we welcome a world of diversity, so we glory in an America of diversity—an America all the richer for the many different and distinctive strands of which it is woven.”
—Hubert H. Humphrey (1911–1978)

“The Indians of this neighborhood are about as familiar with the moose as we are with the ox, having associated with them for so many generations.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
