Pаssаge Explicаtiоn 1 This made it clear tо me, that my suspiciоn was right; and, that whatever they pretended of meeting to learn good things, the real purpose was to consult how to cheat Indians in the price of beaver. Consider but a little, Conrad, and you must be of my opinion. If they met so often to learn good things, they would certainly have learned some before this time. But they are still ignorant. You know our practice. If a white man, in traveling through our country, enters one of our cabins, we all treat him as I treat you; we dry him if he is wet, we warm him if he is cold, we give him meat and drink, that he may allay his thirst and hunger; and we spread soft furs for him to rest and sleep on; we demand nothing in return. But, if I go into a white man’s house at Albany, and ask for victual and drink, they say, “Where is your money?” and if I have none, they say, “Get out, you Indian doge.” You see they have not yet learned those little good things, that we need no meetings to be instructed in, because our mothers taught them to us when we were children; and therefore it is impossible their meeting should be, as they say, for any such purpose, or have any such effect; they are only to contrive the cheating of Indians in the price of the beaver.”
