Question

review the way that chief canassatego tells a story.
we know that you highly esteem the kind of learning taught in these colleges, and that the maintenance of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. we are convinced therefore that you mean to do us good by your proposal, and we thank you heartily. but you who are so wise must know that different nations have different conceptions of things, and you will therefore not take it amiss if our ideas of this kind of education happens not to be the same with yours. we have had some experience of it.
several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces. they were instructed in all your sciences, but when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods, unable to bear either cold or hunger, knew neither how to build a cabin, take a deer, or kill an enemy, spoke our language imperfectly, and therefore were neither fit for hunters, warriors, nor councilors. they were totally good for nothing. we are however not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we decline accepting it; and to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take great care of their education, instruct them in all we know, and make men of them.

Explanation:

Chief Canassatego uses a narrative about Native American youth educated in northern colleges. These youths, despite learning colonial sciences, lacked practical Native American skills (e.g., hunting, building cabins). This shows a contrast between colonial education goals (sciences) and Native American education needs (survival skills in their environment). The story is used to question the value of college education for Native Americans by highlighting this goal - difference.
