Which inference is best supported by the passage below (paragraphs 21-24)?Everything I have said to you is the truth, the great spirit has inspired me and I speak nothing but the truth to you. In two moons we shall assemble at the Huron Village (addressing himself to the Weas and Pottawatomies) where the great belts of all the tribes are kept and there settle our differences. Brother, now Brother, I hope you will confess that you ought not to have listened to those bad birds who bring you bad news. I have declared myself freely to you and if you want any explanation from our town send a man who can speak to us. If you think proper to give us any presents and we can be convinced that they are given through friendship alone we will accept them. As we intend to hold our council at the Huron Village that is near the British we may probably make them a visit. Should they offer us any presents of goods we will not take them but should they offer us powder and the tomahawk we will take the powder and refuse the tomahawk. I wish you Brother to consider everything I have said is true and that it is the sentiments of all the red people who listen to me.
