Question

read the excerpt from \an indians 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 tribes cultural traditions?
he feels strongly about sharing them with others in the world.
he feels strongly about remembering them for years to come.
he feels strongly about revising them to be more relevant.
he feels strongly about preserving and maintaining them.

Explanation:

The text states Chief Joseph values his father's teachings, and his father was a respected chief who left a good name and advised him for his people. Valuing such ancestral guidance aligns with prioritizing the protection and upkeep of the tribe's cultural traditions, as the other options (sharing widely, revising, only remembering) do not match the focus on honoring the father's legacy for the community.

Answer:

He feels strongly about preserving and maintaining them.
