The right answer is "B Red Cloud describes the situation as bleak; with little food and fading traditions, they felt one of their only choices was to agree to reservation life and adopt white American ways."
In 1871, the government established the Red Cloud Agency on the Platte River, downstream from Fort Laramie. As outlined in the 1868 Treaty, the agency staff were responsible for issuing weekly rations to the Oglala, as well as providing the annually distributed supply of cash and annuity goods. The agent and Washington officials would determine how much of the annuity was to be paid in cash or goods, and sometimes the supplies were late, in poor condition, inadequate in amount, or never arrived at all. Red Cloud took his band to the agency (a predecessor of the Native American reservation) and tried to help them in the transition to a different way of life. In the fall of 1873, the agency was removed to the upper White River in northwestern Nebraska.

The themes of friendship and loyalty are developed in these excerpts by the use of the infidelities. Tennessee had an affair with his partner's wife and she accepted him. However, she was also unloyal to him and she finally abandoned him to go with another man. The relationship between Tennessee and his partner is a ckear example of loyalty and frienship because even though Tennessee courted his wife they continue being friends, they had an affection that was unconditional. Tennessee's partner admired him and that feeling continued after his death.
