Answer:
The young men make the decisions now.
Step-by-step explanation:
Chief Joseph was a Nez Percé chief of the Native Americans who led the revolt of his people after the Americans reneged on their agreement following discovery of gold on land allocated to the Native Americans.
Following the hostilities and tension about the betrayal by the Americans, Chief Joseph décided to retreat with his men and families and they braced impossible odds, fighting with only 200 fighting men against up to 2,000 Americans on their quest to cross to Canada.
After a long, hard battle which had taken its toll, Chief Joseph decided to surrender and he gave this speech:
"I am tired of fighting, Our chiefs are killed. Looking Glass is dead. Toohoolhoolzote is dead. The old men are all dead. It is the young men who say, 'Yes' or 'No.'
He claimed that his tribe could not continue the fight because they lacked a leader and the young men were making the decisions.
