I'm so grateful to each and everyone who has signed so far. 

Chief Crowfoot was a wise man who tried to bring peace between the "native American Indian" people and the British colonial power. His gesture of peace was treated with contempt by the British, selling on a priceless collection for £10 to Exeter Museum. 

Chief Crowfoot said:

"A little while and I will be gone from among you, whither I cannot tell. From nowhere we come, into nowhere we go. What is life? It is a flash of firefly in the night. It is a breath of a buffalo in the wintertime. It is as the little shadow that runs across the grass and loses itself in the sunset."
Chief Crowfoot

Did you know that only one Exeter City Councillor has responded -  and, yet, they will have the power to decide on the issue in June. Are their minds closed to the significance of these items to the Blackfoot Nation and their ability to house them properly in their heartland?
