Answer:

The central argument of "An Indian Father's Plea" is:

A. That the teacher needs to respect Wind-Wolf's culture and take that into account when teaching him.

Explanation:

In his letter to his son's teacher, Robert Lake (Medicine Grizzlybear) explains that his 5-year-old boy, Wind-Wolf, no longer wants to go to school. At school, he is made fun of for his hair, his name, and the mere fact of his being a Native American. Besides that, his teacher has also labeled him as a slow learner.

Lake explains that his son is not slow. Wind-Wolf has been  exposed to his own culture as well as the culture of other tribes since he was very young. He has learned how to count, how to observe the changes in nature, how ceremonies are carried out, among other things. Wind-Wolf is a smart young child, able to say his name in seven different languages.

What Lake wants is for Wind-Wolf's teacher to understand, accept, and respect his son's origins and culture. He is more than willing to help the teacher, in case he/she lacks the experience to deal with Native American students.

Answer:

A. That the teacher needs to respect Wind-Wolf's culture and take that into account when teaching him.
