Shorter
During this time period, Native Americans were subjected to mistreatment by the US government, including broken treaties, displacement from their lands, forced assimilation, and violence. Many Native Americans likely felt frustrated, angry, and betrayed by the injustices they were experiencing.
If I were one of the chiefs to whom Chief Joseph was speaking, I would likely agree with him. Chief Joseph's speech emphasizes the desire for peace, justice, and respect for their way of life. His words convey a sense of dignity and resistance against the oppression faced by the Native American people. As a leader, I would have felt compelled to stand up for my people and fight against the injustices being inflicted upon us. Chief Joseph's message of unity, perseverance, and non-violence resonates with me, and I would have found common ground with him in the struggle for justice and dignity for our people.
