Question

Read the passage below and answer the question.

"There were four chiefs: Mr. Bear, Cougar, Bald Eagle, and Salmon. They met to
try to figure out what it was that they were going to do. They knew of a place
where there were many salmon. This would be the best thing for the coming
people. It would keep them strong and healthy; besides, it would taste so good!
But there was a problem. The salmon were being held way upriver by a dam and
were being guarded by some women, who when crossed would stop at nothing
to destroy anything that got in the way of keeping their salmon and doing their
work."
