(Select all that apply.)
The Education of a Young Chief
“We have only one custom among us, and that is well known to all; this river and all that is in it are mine. I have come up the river behind you, and you appear to have killed all before you. This is mine, and this is mine.”
The Indians, as has just been said, once had a custom, which is now done away, of making a great feast of the first deer that a young hunter caught; the young hunter, however, was not to partake of any of it, but wait upon the others.
Many a lecture I received when the deer lay bleeding at the feet of my father; he would give me an account of the nobleness of the hunter’s deeds, and said that I should never be in want whenever there was any game …
“If you reverence the aged, many will be glad to hear of your name,” were the words of my father. “The poor man will say to his children, ‘my children, let us go to him, for he is a great hunter, and is kind to the poor; he will not turn us away empty.’ ”
B,C?
A bit late, but for anyone reading this: B and D are the correct answers.

@Writeacher common sense lol
Yes, excerpts B and C from "The Education of a Young Chief" effectively support the idea that an important aspect of the narrator's culture is to think of the needs of others in the community before oneself.
Excerpt B states that the narrator's culture used to have a custom where the first deer caught by a young hunter would be made into a great feast, but the young hunter would not partake in it. Instead, the young hunter would wait upon and serve others during the feast. This demonstrates the emphasis on selflessness and prioritizing the needs of others in the community.
Excerpt C shows the narrator's father lecturing him about the nobleness of the hunter's deeds and emphasizing that the narrator should always be willing to share game and not let anyone be in want. The father highlights the importance of being kind to the poor and not turning them away empty-handed, illustrating the cultural value of generosity and considering the needs of others.
Therefore, excerpts B and C both provide support for the idea that the narrator's culture prioritizes thinking of the needs of others in the community before oneself.
