Question

read the excerpt from \money to us is of no value.\
you have talked to us about concessions. it appears strange that you should expect any from us, who have only been defending our just rights against your invasions.
why does the speaker most likely say this?
○ to express concern the us government will not concede to the tribes’ demands
○ to emphasize that the land in question rightfully belongs to the tribes
○ to explain why the us government’s bargaining methods are strange
○ to persuade the us government to stop invading the tribal land

Explanation:

The speaker's statement "Money to Us Is of No Value" and the context about defending rights against invasions suggest the goal is to emphasize the land's rightful tribal ownership, making the option about emphasizing the land belongs to the tribes the most logical. Other options don't align: expressing concern about concessions is not the focus, explaining bargaining methods is irrelevant, and persuading to stop invading is not directly tied to the money - no - value statement's intent.

Answer:

to emphasize that the land in question rightfully belongs to the tribes
