Option 1 is correct - it would appear as an accusation rather than a plea.

Explanation:

Since the chief was describing the injustice done to the Indians over the ownership of their land coupled with the weak position of his Indian clan to ownership of his land, it was only wise to adopt a plea tone in order to win over the powerful white people goodwill emotionally.
