I can't tell the truth, I can only tell what I 'know'.

A Cree chieftain came to Montreal to testify in Court about what would be the effect on his tribe's hunting lands with the proposed Jame's Bay hydroelectric scheme. But when the oath '...to tell the truth, the whole truth and noting but the truth...' was being administered, he hesitated and said, 'I am not sure I can tell the whole truth....I can only tell what I know.'
