The true Indian sets no price upon either his
property or his labor. His generosity is limited only by his strength and
ability. He regards it as an honor to be selected for a difficult or dangerous
service, and would think it shameful to ask for any reward, saying rather:
"Let the person I serve express his thanks according to his own bringing up and
his sense of honor."
