land, ownership, and friendship.
family, progress, and intellect.
pride, tradition, and ownership.
peace, tradition, and honesty.

Explanation:

Analyze Chief Joseph's message

In "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs," Chief Joseph (Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt) appeals to the United States government for equality, justice, and mutual understanding. Throughout his speech, he emphasizes the Nez Percé's desire for peaceful coexistence, their deep respect for ancestral traditions and the natural laws of the Creator, and the absolute necessity of truthfulness and keeping one's word (honesty) in treaties and human relations.

Evaluate the options

• "land, ownership, and friendship": Incorrect. The concept of individual land "ownership" contradicts traditional Nez Percé beliefs regarding the earth.
• "family, progress, and intellect": Incorrect. "Progress" in the Western industrial sense is not a central theme of his appeal.
• "pride, tradition, and ownership": Incorrect. Again, "ownership" of land is not a value Chief Joseph advocates; he views land as something that cannot be owned.
• "peace, tradition, and honesty": Correct. Chief Joseph repeatedly emphasizes his desire for peace, respect for traditional ways of life, and the requirement for white settlers and government officials to speak with straight tongues (honesty).

Answer:

• land, ownership, and friendship.
• family, progress, and intellect.
• pride, tradition, and ownership.
• peace, tradition, and honesty. (Correct answer)
