Explanation:

Analyze the quotation

The speaker, Kiowa Chief Satanta, states: "Two years ago I made peace with Generals Harney, Sanborn, and Colonel Leavenworth at the mouth of the Little Arkansas. That peace I have never broken."

Identify the core cultural value

By emphasizing that he has "never broken" the peace treaty made two years prior, the speaker highlights the importance of keeping one's word, honoring agreements, and maintaining integrity. This directly aligns with the cultural value of keeping commitments and promises.

Evaluate the given options

• "the value of land": Not the primary focus of this specific statement about keeping peace.
• "the value of family": Not mentioned or implied in this statement.
• "the value of promises": Directly matches the emphasis on keeping a pact/peace unbroken.
• "the value of freedom": While important to the Kiowa, it is not the specific value illustrated by keeping an agreement unbroken.

Answer:

• the value of land
• the value of family
• the value of promises (Correct answer)
• the value of freedom
