“If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man he would have made me so in the first place . . .”

… He put in your heart certain wishes and plans; in my heart he put other and different desires. Each man is good in the sight of the Great Spirit. It is not necessary, that eagles should be crows.”

~Sitting Bull, as quoted in “God Is Red: A Native View of Religion” by Vine Deloria, Jr.
