The treatment of Native Americans during the period where Chief Joseph wrote his surrender speech, was negative, the white settlers just wanted the territories of the natives and they didn't care about the wellness of the Native Americans. They felt robbed and betrayed by people they barely knew. I would have agreed with Chief Joseph because all he wanted was peace between the two parts, people were dying unfairly, maybe every chief wanted different things, but the thing that nobody wanted, were more deaths.
