Chief Seattle was Red Indian responing to an offer from Washington to buy their remaining 2 million acres of land for $150,000, the rest was taken.

 

"I am a savage and do not understand any other way. I have seen a thousand rotting buffaloes on the prairie, left by the white man who shot them from a passing train. I am a savage and do not understand how the smoking iron horse can be made more important than the buffalo that we kill only to stay alive.

 

What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected.

 

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of our grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children that we have taught our children that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth"

 

Extract from the thoughts of Chief Seattle

 

 

Wow! I would love to speak to people like this but even with my love of the outdoors... I would feel like a child
