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.

In this quote, the speaker demonstrates his desire for raising indigenous children in traditional ways. The speaker implies that medicine lodges (schools and churches) will alter the ways in which the children are brought up. The speaker wants them to be raised in the same way he was (presumably in a traditional way), showing that the Kiowa want to maintain their traditional lifestyle and traditions.
