Show image 9A-7: Running Fox listening to an angry Chief Red Cloud<br />
19 Who is the chief talking about?<br />
Why do you think the settlers<br />
refused to listen to the Native<br />
Americans?<br />
Running Fox could see Chief Red Cloud’s eyes blazing with<br />
anger as he spoke. “I have tried to tell them,” the chief continued<br />
solemnly, “but they refuse to listen.” 19<br />
He turned, looked right at Running Fox, and said, “We have<br />
spoken peacefully with them, and we will do so again. I hope that<br />
this time they will listen. Otherwise, we may have further conflict<br />
with them.” Chief Red Cloud turned and led his men back the way<br />
they had come.<br />
