1. He comes in his intent,and says we must pay him-pay him for our own-for the things we have from our God and our forefathers;for things he never owned,and never gave us.
- This describes the whites attempt perfectly as they tried to make Native Americans pay for their own possessions.
2. We owe him nothing; he owes us more than he will pay,yet says there is a God.
- This is true they have just as much right as the whites did. We were all created equal in Gods eye and no one person is any greater than the other. The whites can never repay the Native Americans for all the hurt and pain they endured.
3. He says his story is that man was rejected and cast off. Why did we not reject him forever? He says one of his virgins had a son nailed to death on two cross sticks to save him. Were all of them dead then when that young man died, we would be all safe now and our country our own.
- Charlot clearly defines his intelligence as he takes another religion and relates it back to the Americans and their doings.
4. Having wronged them for centuries we had better, in order to protect our civilization, follow it up by one more wrong and wipe them untamed and untamable creatures from he face of the Earth.
- This statement made me think the whites were a little intimated by the Indians and because of this they wanted them wipes away because they were considered a threat.
5. Will he tell his own crimes? No, no; his crimes to us are left untold.
- The whites did/do not tell the full story, only false portrayal of Natives Americans and they never got a chance to tell their side.
