Question

Read the final two paragraphs from "Money to Us Is of

No Value."
You have talked to us about concessions. It appears
strange that you should expect any from us, who have
only been defending our just rights against your
invasions. We want peace. Restore to us our country,
and we shall be enemies no longer.
We desire you to consider, brothers, that our only
demand is the peaceable possession of a small part of
our once great country. Look back and review the
lands from whence we have been driven to this spot.
We can retreat no farther, because the country behind
hardly affords food for its present inhabitants, and we
have therefore resolved to leave our bones in this small
space to which we are now confined.

Which best describes a central idea of this excerpt?
>The tribes will defend their rights under any
circumstances.
>The tribes have no place left to retreat.
>The tribes want to live peacefully on their land.
>The US government has been pushing the tribes off
their land.

The central idea of this excerpt is that the tribes want to live peacefully on their land. The speaker is expressing a desire for peace and asking the US government to restore their country so that they can live on it without further conflict. The reference to the lands from which they have been driven and their inability to retreat further emphasizes their attachment to their land and their desire to remain there.
