In readings like this, the hypocrisies that white Christian's displayed is undeniable. They preach love and good values, but in reality practice more hate and exhibit more poor moral standards than the Native people who they call savages.
The words of Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha couldn't be more true. Their eyes are wide opened, while those of their oppressors are shut, as it is in almost any case involving an oppressor and his or her victims.
The persevering kindness and selflessness of the Native Americans in itself, to me, is an indicator of their heart. After being betrayed, lied to, and mistreated by the white settlers, they continue to try to work with them and be open-minded to what they are saying. It is truly disgusting, in my opinion, the way the chief is treated after his speech when trying to extend a hand of understanding to the Christian minister.
