Question

Chief Joseph of the Noz Perce Indians made this speech of surrender to the US Army after attempting to cross the border into Canada

rather than move to a reservation After traveling for more than 1000 miles and fighting the army all along the way, the remaining
members of the tribe were trapped and defeated 40 miles from the Canadian border
Since that 1877 event, what Joseph said or didn't say after he handed his rifle to Colonel Milos has been disputed - possibly the longest
dispute over a text in western American literature. CES Wood, the 25-year old aide-de-camp of General Howard, publicly claimed all his
life that he wrote down verbatim a 155 word (+ -) speech given by Chief Joseph after he handed over his nfle. No one at Bear's Paw that
day including General Howard - ever published anything corroborating Wood's text. While he had varying degrees of editorial control
over the nineteen versions of the speech published between 1877 and 1939. Wood also revised the text, speaker, and contexts. After
Wood's death in 1944, historians doubting Wood's truthfulness became more explicit, even though the "Surrender Speech' had
become nationally accepted as authentic Native American oratory
October 5, 1877
I am tired of lighting Our chiefs are killed Looking Glass is dead
Toohuthulsoto is doad The old men are all dead It is the young men who say yes or no
He who led the young men is dead
It is cold and we have no blankets The little children are freezing to death My people, some of them have run away to the hills and have no blankets no food. No one knows where they are perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many I can find. Maybe I shall find them among dead. Hear me my chiefs I am tired my heart is sick and sad from where the sun now stands I will fight no more

Step-by-step explanation:

In passage 1, the distressing circumstances that prompted the Chief's resignation to the United States Army were explained. The Chief lamented that many of their leaders were now dead. The weather was not favorable for them and many of their children could not be found. These things made him surrender.

His lamentation on not knowing where his children are is an example of the distressing circumstance that he faced. A video showing the events that transpired will help the viewer to appreciate the events more and relate to them.
