Respuesta :

The speech states how conditions in the village happened because of the exploitation and irresponsibility of white men. In this context, it would be fair for the white men to withdraw and let the indigenous people take over their lands and their people. Prejudice created sadness and misery.

Through questions similar to yours, we can see that your question is about "Red Cloud's Speech after Wounded Knee."

According to the reading of this speech, we can see that:

  • Red Cloud shows the situation in his village, after the arrival and control of the white men.
  • According to him, the village is going through difficulties. Indigenous people cannot take care of their lands and families, as whites exploit everything with violence.
  • Indigenous people do not have enough food, as the diet depends on whites and they are reducing the amount of rations frequently.
  • Indigenous people are weak and desperate, everyone is hungry, including children.
  • He also claims that whites are laughing at the situation and spreading lies that say that indigenous people are lazy, waste food, and party all the time.

In this case, Red Cloud shows how prejudice against indigenous people is negative, that it causes people to suffer, causes them to be seen incorrectly, and causes misery, chaos, and despair in a very unfair way.
