When I had a job catering I catered a wedding for the Smashing Pumpkins bassist in Indiana. And I served Billy Corgan shrimp off a tray.

At least the Pilgrim Fathers used to shoot Indians: the Pilgrim Children merely punch time clocks.

At a time when nobody thought we'd ever see a new steel mill built in America we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.

If I could write a story that would do for the Indian one-hundredth part what 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' did for the Negro I would be thankful the rest of my life.

If I can do one hundredth part for the Indian that Mrs. Stowe did for the Negro I will be thankful.

Indiana Jones is very much an old-world kind of hero. He doesn't really have any kind of superpower or rely on any kind of technology to help him out of things.

I'm not good at anything except writing jokes. I wasn't good at sports I wasn't good at anything artsy ever. I think there was a real worry for a while about what I would be good at. I was just this chubby little Indian kid who looked like a nerd.

Then I realized that there is an indigenous presence in the Solar System. It's us. So then I got to wondering what would happen if a more technologically advanced society moved next door to us the way we moved next door to the American Indians.

In my family as in most middle-class Indian families I knew when I was growing up science and mathematics were held in awe.

I'm not a great science fiction fan myself. I probably feel that way about Westerns. Like I used to play Cowboys and Indians they can act out Will and the Robot.

Much of Indian science seems intuitive and not bound by the rigid thinking of classical scientists.

I mean the unfair treatment of women and black people and Indians and other groups that's real. Mistreatment of other people because 'I'm better than you are' is such a sad part of the world.

The American Indian was an individualist in religion as in war. He had neither a national army nor an organized church.

The religion of the Indian is the last thing about him that the man of another race will ever understand.

Indian religion has always felt that since the minds the temperaments and the intellectual affinities of men are unlimited in their variety a perfect liberty of thought and of worship must be allowed to the individual in his approach to the Infinite.

First take the government of the Indians out of politics second let the laws of the Indians be the same as those of the whites third give the Indian the ballot.

Like Indiana Jones I don't like snakes - though that might lead some to ask why I'm in politics.

If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace.

Maybe I'm genetically more inclined to music - but the music I make is so far removed from Indian classical music. I grew up in Texas!

I find Indian music very funky. I mean it's very soulful with their own kind of blues. But it's the only other school on the planet that develops improvisation to the high degree that you find in jazz music. So we have a lot of common ground.

We had high and boisterous winds last night and this morning: the Indians continue to purchase repairs with grain of different kinds.

We remained at our encampment of this day until the morning of the 7th when we descended ten miles lower down and encamped on a spot of ground where several thousand Indians had wintered during the past season.

For some students school is the only place where they get a hot meal and a warm hug. Teachers are sometimes the only ones who tell our children they can go from an Indian reservation to the Ivy League from the home of a struggling single mom to the White House.

It is my sincere hope that hospitals across Indiana and America continue to strive for excellence when it comes to providing medical care. This proposed rule will be harmful to communities who wish to upgrade their medical facilities.
