This speech also contains the many traditions and values that the Nez Percés people hold. Chief Joseph spoke from his heart, making an impassioned speech to represent the situation of his people as well as maintain harmonious existence with the new comers, the whites.
The tone of the excerpt shows that the speaker Chief Joseph wants the audience to listen with compassion and sympathize with them, while also making a peaceful co-existence with each other.
