I don’t see the excerpts you mentioned — could you paste them? I can pick the best example of pathos from the list.
In the meantime: the most classically emotional (pathos) part of Chief Joseph’s remarks is the passage expressing sorrow and resignation, for example:
“Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.”
Why that’s pathos: it uses direct first‑person emotion (“tired,” “heart is sick and sad”), evokes pity and sorrow, and signals painful resignation. If one of your excerpts contains that language (or the “I am tired of fighting” / “I will fight no more forever” lines), that excerpt is the best example of pathos. Paste the excerpts and I’ll choose among them.
