When the whites came to our country, we had the land and they had the Bible; now we have the Bible and they have the land.

Answer:

When the whites came to rule, they abandoned all religious principles and began conquests in the name of personal gain rather than the worship of a higher power. The natives, unable to defend themselves, turned to god for help.

I hope this helps you
