Answer 1

Chief Joseph's speech poignantly captures the anguish and suffering of Native Americans during a time of relentless forced removal and oppression. His words reflect a deep sense of loss, betrayal, and the desire for peace, highlighting the despair many Native Americans felt as their lands were seized and their culture marginalized. If I were one of the chiefs he addressed, I would have agreed with him, as his message of unity and perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity resonates deeply with the struggles we faced as a people.
