In "My Heart Is Bursting," which quote most contributes to the central idea that the Kiowa tribe wishes to maintain their lifestyle and traditions?

A. The Kiowas and Comanches have not been fighting. We were away down south when we heard you were coming to see us.

B. I love the land and the buffalo and will not part with it. I want you to understand well what I say.

C. I don't want any of the medicine lodges [schools and churches] within the country. I want the children raised as I was.

D. When I look upon you, I know you are all big chiefs. While you are in this country we go to sleep happy and are not afraid.

C. I don't want any of the medicine lodges [schools and churches] within the country. I want the children raised as I was.

Explanation:

In his speech "My Heart Is Bursting", Chief Santana spoke in detail how he wished to maintain the land and his people like they were before. He details how he want the government to stay away from his people's lands. His speech is full of anger in that they had been taken away from their homeland and made to change their living. He states how he want his people's lands to be undisturbed, and how he want no part of the 'western' things such as "medicine lodges" for his people. Rather, he wants the children "raised as (he) was". This particular line shows his and his people's wish to maintain their lifestyle and traditions, away from the influence of the 'westernized practices'.
