Question

6.

Read the excerpt from "We Are Determined Not to Sell Our Lands."

Brother, at the treaties held for the purchase of our lands, the white men, with sweet voices and smiling faces, told us they loved us, and that they would not cheat us, but that the king’s children on the other side of the lake would cheat us. When we go on the other side of the lake, the king's children tell us your people will cheat us. These things puzzle our heads, and we believe that the Indians must take care of themselves, and not trust either in your people or in the king’s children.

-He illustrates how the United States and European governments acted like children who cheat at games.
-He describes the treaties given to the tribes by the US government.
-He describes similarities and differences between kings and children.
-He provides evidence as to why he cannot trust either the United States or European governments.
