Answer:

To the speaker, DeSoto represents greed and violence to the Creek.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speaker says that he should have stayed home, and that his heart wasn't big enough to handle the "New World." She also refers to him as "mad," pointing out his overwhelming greed. The "voices" are a metaphor for Creek culture generally.
