:11:00
Yeah. It's good to see you, miss clara.
:11:01
Don't be so formal.
:11:02
It's just plain clara now.
:11:04
Yes, ma'am.
:11:06
I believe I'll let you two get reacquainted.
:11:08
I've got some business with royer.
:11:12
Come meet my pupils.
:11:18
Class, I want you to meet
george voices that carry.
:11:23
George was a student
of mine a long time ago.
:11:26
He used to live here in pine ridge.
:11:28
Now he's come back, I hope to teach.
:11:30
No, not to teach.
:11:33
To learn.
:11:41
I have lived among the
white men for many years,
:11:45
but I am still lakota...
:11:47
like you,
:11:49
and there is much to learn from our people.
:11:56
Congress sets the policy, mr. Wheeler.
:11:58
I'm merely charged with
carrying out its intent.
:12:01
The beef allotment to this agency
has been reduced by one million pounds.
:12:05
Washington takes its census
numbers quite seriously.
:12:07
Well, it seems pretty damn
short-sighted, if you ask me.
:12:10
And what about this bill of lading?
:12:12
Couldn't bring myself to refuse 'em.
:12:14
They were starving.
:12:16
I'll pay for the lost goods in full.
:12:17
Your charity only exacerbates a
difficult situation, mr. Wheeler.
:12:21
You may want to have a look at this.
:12:27
My colleague at standing
rock, mr. Mclaughlin,
:12:30
informs me that rumors of an indian
messiah are spreading like wildfire.
:12:34
He reassures me it is
only a minor annoyance,
:12:36
but I have my doubts.
:12:38
Well, no telling where
desperate people will find hope.
:12:42
I can only do so much, mr. Wheeler.
:12:44
More than that I am not allowed.
:12:46
These people are suspicious of any changes.
:12:49
Your predecessor colonel
gallagher was a hard man, but fair.
:12:54
They'd come to respect him.
:12:55
Be that as it may, the new administration
has selected me to see to its affairs.
:12:58
Well, maybe when you've
been here a little longer-
:12:59
- as you say.
