Read the following excerpt. It is adapted from a 1879 speech by Chief Joseph, a Nez Perce leader who became famous as an advocate and defender of his people.If the white man wants to live in peace with the Indian he can live in peace. There need be no trouble. Treat all men alike. Give them all the same law. Give them all an even chance to live and grow. All men were made by the same Great Spirit Chief. They are all brothers. The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it. You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as that any man who was born a free man should be contented when penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases. If you tie a horse to a stake, do you expect he will grow fat? If you pen an Indian up on a small spot of earth, and compel him to stay there, he will not be contented, nor will he grow and prosper. I only ask of the Government to be treated as all other men are treated.We ask that the same law shall work alike on all men. If the Indian breaks the law, punish him by the law. If the white man breaks the law, punish him also. . . .Whenever the white man treats the Indian as they treat each other, then we will have no more wars. We shall all be alike—brothers of one father and one mother, with one sky above us and country around us, and one government for all. For this time the Indian race are waiting and praying.Adapted from Chief Joseph, "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs"Based on the excerpt, what is the purpose of Chief Joseph's speech?to persuade the government to punish white men for breaking lawsto convince the government to return the country to his tribeto ask for recognition for the accomplishments of Native Americansto call for legal equality between white men and Native AmericansSubmit

I believe that wounded justice, lying prostrate on the blood-flowing streets of our nations, can be lifted from this dust of shame to reign supreme among the children of men. I have the audacity to believe that peoples everywhere can have three meals a day for their bodies, education and culture for their minds, and dignity, equality and freedom for their spirits.
