Answer:
C. grown resentful of the presence of European settlers.
Step-by-step explanation:
The excerpt depicts the indignation the Americans have developed towards the unfair treatment and manner in which the European settlers have made them feel less deserving as a people. It shows the high attitude the European settlers have, and how they have little regards to the lifestyle and people of the American Indians, no thanks to European Colonization.
They made the American Indians look inferior.
The excerpt only points to one fact: resentfulness of the American Indians towards the European settlers.
