In the text, we learn that Old Koskoosh's feelings about being left behind are that he is resigned to his fate, as it is the way of his tribe and of nature. What evidence from the text supports this conclusion?

The evidence that the text shows for Koskoosh's resignation is the physical state he is in.

Explanation:

Koskoosh was old, tired and blind. He was not in a position to move on with his tribe, as he would be a burden and end up disturbing the other members of the tribe, who might not even achieve their goals.

In other words, Koskoosh, knew and accepted that it would not be a good help and so he was left behind as his last way of helping his people. He knows that his life is at an end and that his mission is over.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
