Question 15 • CMS 2026-2027 English III CREDIT RECOVERY
Read the excerpt from "An Indian's View of Indian Affairs." My father was chief before me. When a young man, he was called Joseph by Mr. Spaulding, a missionary. He died a few years ago. He left a good name on earth. He advised me well for my people. Based on the idea that Hin-mah-too-yah-lat-kekt (Chief Joseph) highly values what his father has taught him, how does he most likely feel about his tribe’s cultural traditions?
Answer
A
He feels strongly about preserving and maintaining them.
B
He feels strongly about revising them to be more relevant.
C
He feels strongly about remembering them for years to come.
D
He feels strongly about sharing them with others in the world.
Explanation
Chief Joseph says his father left a good name and advised him well for the benefit of his people. This shows he respects his father’s wisdom and values what has been passed down to him. He would most likely feel strongly about preserving and maintaining his tribe’s cultural traditions, rather than revising them.
