Read the excerpt from "We Are Determined Not to Sell Our Lands."

Brother, your application for the purchase of our lands is to our minds very extraordinary. It has been made in a crooked manner. You have not walked in the straight path pointed out by the great Council of your nation. You have no writings from your great Father, the President. In making up our minds we have looked back and remembered how the Yorkers purchased our lands in former times. They bought them, piece after piece, for a little money paid to a few men in our nation, and not to all our brethren, until our planting and hunting-grounds have become very small—and if we sell them, we know not where to spread our blankets.

Which is the central idea of this excerpt?

-Tribes have too little land left to live on.
-White settlers have not dealt honorably with Indigenous tribes.
-The US government did not keep accurate records of land sales.
-Money for the land sold went to only some of the tribes.

The central idea of this excerpt is this:

  • White settlers have not dealt honorably with Indigenous tribes.

What is the central idea?

The central idea of this text is that the white settlers had not dealt honestly with the native people in former times. This affected their resolve to sell their land to the settlers.

They recalled that in past times, the white people bought their lands in bits while remitting money to a few people. So, the natives lost a huge portion of their lands and were not willing to repeat the same mistake now.
