Frank DeKova: Chief Hostay

Quotes 

• U.S. Marshal Sam Buckhart : Hostay, the whites are strong as the mountain grizzly. But their laws are wise and just. And I say to you that, for a while, the Apache and all the tribes must endure the bear hug of the whites so that our grandchildren and theirs might live under these good laws as brothers. It is for this only that I have come to take the young man, Eskimimzin.

  Chief Hostay : That is the truth, Buckhart?

  U.S. Marshal Sam Buckhart : I too am Chiricahua. It is the truth, Hostay.

• Chief Hostay : Eskimimzin, my son... You go to die for the Apache Nation. It is a great honor to make such a sacrifice.

  U.S. Marshal Sam Buckhart : He will have a fair trial.

  Chief Hostay : It is understood.

  U.S. Marshal Sam Buckhart : Then why did you say sacrifice?
