Answer:
It is a direct and eloquent plea delivered in Washington for the equal treatment of all Native Americans.
Explanation:
Chief Joseph was a <em>Native American</em> who belonged to a tribe in the <em>Pacific Northwest region of the U.S.A.</em> He fought for his people and their ancestral lands <u>against the white settlers</u>. But later on, he surrendered and was moved to the state of Washington.
In Washington D.C., he delivered his speech at the<em> Lincoln Memorial Hall </em>asking for the equal treatment of all Native Americans, just as the white people are being treated. He just wanted the Native Americans to be treated just as the rest of the men were treated with the freedom to travel, trade, work, shop, etc. as long as they obey the law.
So, this explains the answer.
