Speeches of Chiefs Seattle in 1857 Sachem. American owned land The US president's speech The purchase of the land from the Indians. Then the speeches Significantly deeper and more piquant. He has been hailed "It is a description of the relationship between humans and the environment. The most impressive ever depicted. Both past and present, "
said tribal leader Seattle ... the part that the great lord of Washington has announced that he wants to buy their land, we realized that our friendship from it. What is not necessary for him because we know that if we do not sell them, it could be a white man carrying a gun to subjugate us anyway. But the sky and the warmth of the land. He traded them? ??
This idea is strange to us. If the fresh air And crystal clear streams of water. Nor is the private property of me you can buy these things we have to do ?? Every part of this earth is sacred to the tribe of pine leaves. Beaches, forests, open fields and all small insects every memory is
a sacred experience of our species. Former Indians of the
sequences in the resin flow across the forest. Spirit of the white man. "No ties to his homeland," but our spirit. "Never forget how beautiful the earth" and as the mother of the Indians. "We are part of the earth. And the land is part of us as well, "
the scent of flowers. As sisters of animals such as deer, eagles are our brothers. Mountains and moisture of the grass. And the warmth of our horse culture. It was part of our family as well, so that the greatness of Washington. Bought our land It is a claim that many, he informed that he will be the new address for us alone comfortably. And he would act like a father And we were like children. His
proposal follows you buy our land. But not easy Because this land is sacred to us. Sparkling water The river flows along streams And the crystal clear lakes Full of history and memories. The Indians Whispers of water, is the voice of our ancestors. Is the blood of us Live a thoroughfare A thirst quencher And a source of food for our children
, if we sell this land to you. You must remember and teach your children that the rivers are the veins of our people. You must comply with the river as your brethren. Indians tend to give way to a white man always comes. "Like the mist on the mountain retreat to escape the sun at dawn" But the ashes of our ancestors. This is what we worship And the graves of them is the Holy Land
, as well as mountains and forests. God gave this land to us, we know that "white people do not understand our way of life. For him, the land where they are the same, "because they are strangers who come to" grab all he wanted was "whites do not assume the earth is flesh of his enemies, and" when they win. Then he left the land to "
the ash then left behind is not good fiber. Ashes ancestry and origin of the children. Not in the memories of whites. He treats the biological relatives earth and sky, virtual goods are traded. It was as if a flock of sheep or a rosary hunger of whites. Is pumped fertility of the land. The parched desert and left
the home of whites without any quieter. No place to hear leaves blowing in the wind in the spring. Or the sound of the wings of insects flying around. What is the meaning of life When deprived of birds and frogs. Interactive cry in the night, I had an Indian soul can not understand these things. Indians love to live with the noise and smell of the breeze. The rain and the smell of the woods
, "You must teach your children to know. He stepped on a land that is the ashes of our ancestors. They will respect the land. Tell your children that the Earth is abundant with life. As relatives, we teach your children as we teach our children has always been that "the world is our mother any catastrophe. What happens to the world It's happened to us. If men spit upon the earth It was a man spit on myself, "
We know that. This is not a human. But humans are part of this world. Everything has a reciprocal relationship As with pedigree Created Commitment Everything Family Are bound together A catastrophe that has happened to this world. It happens to men as well. Humans are not the creators of fiber mass, but human life is just one strand of fiber only. If they break these fibers He destroyed himself, "
This is the speech of the Indian tribes. Who never graduated from any high over 200 years ago.
