That's your other quote "He is convinced, and has good reasons to be, that he can always get better treatment from the white man" - the author's opinion, who was not an illiterate obviously: "has good reasons". Being right or wrong has nothing to do with it. Their lives, their country, their right to decide. You think you know better what's good for them, don't you?
