"A little while and I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell. From no where we came, into nowhere we go. What is life? It is a flash of a firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the winter time. It is the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
-- last words - Chief of the Blackfoot: Ispwo Mukika Crowfoot (1783-1850)
