Chief Manuelito was my paterual grandfather. He was
a man identified with everything good in the way of
livelihood offered by the government. And I too think
that the government's programs are good. There's nothing
that people can do to me on that account. So I intend to
hang onto this Cattle Association as long as I can.
One hears people say, "Foreigners coming in have
made things bad." I live one mile outside of the area. So
I am one of their principal targets. But I do not feel that
I am from the outside. Because my land is on the inside.
There were cattle in there right at the beginning when
they put up the fence. So that's how I came to be a
member of the Cattle Association. Now forty-two of us
are members of the association.
Those who say they are against the Cattle Association
are making a mistake. That's my opinion. At the be
ginning people were told to buy cattle and join. They
gave the matter no attention. And now because of envy
they want to do away with it. They are really quarreling
violently with us about it. And one man told us he was
really going to make our fac.es bloody. This is no lie. A
man made that statement right in my presence. What
should be done when a man makes such a threat? Give
this your careful attention, you who are our leaders. For
I really regret and worry about these things. That's why I
have spoken to you.
