Explanation:

The passage of the question belongs to a statement Sitting Bull gave in 1883. Sitting Bull was a Native-American leader who led his people during the times of resistance against the government of the United States. In the excerpt, Sitting Bull is expressing how even after trying to emphasize with the white men, and even when he tried not to go against them, he cannot avoid realizing how his own people are suffering and starving. The main point of the excerpt is for the leader to express his discontent with the circumstances in which his people are living, and to demand that they are allowed to live the same way that the white men are.
