From the speech of Chief Red Cloud, the following are the conditions of life on the reservation:

1. If one can keep hope alive, such individual will stay alive.

2. If one can stay and face his fears, victory awaits.

3. If one remains deaf to negative words but thinks on the positive side of life, he is sure to live.

4. If one don't believe on lies, there is life.

The above conditions can be seen from the last paragraph of Chief Red Cloud's speech:

"The white men were frightened and called for soldiers. We begged for life and the white men thought we wanted theirs; we heard the soldiers were coming. We did not fear. We hoped we could tell them our suffering and could get help. The white men told us the soldiers meant to kill us; we did not believe it but some were frightened and ran away to the Bad Lands. The soldiers came. They said: "don't be afraid-we come to make peace, not war." It was true; they brought us food. But the hunger-crazed who had taken fright at the soldiers' coming and went to the Bad Lands could not be induced to return to the horrors of reservation life. They were called Hostiles and the Government sent the army to force them back to their reservation prison."
