Passage 2
In 1854, the Great White Chief in Washington made an
offer for a large area of land of the Red Indians and promised
a reservation for the Indian people, and the Chief of Seattle
replies:
How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of the land?
The idea is strange to us. If we dont own the freshness of
the air and sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?
Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every
shining pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the
dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in
the memory and experience of my people. The sap which
courses through the trees carries the memories of the red
man. The whitemans dead forget the country of their birth
when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never
forget this beautiful earth, for it is the mother of the red
man. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The
perfumed flowers are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the
great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the
juices in the meadows, body heat of the pony, and manall belong to the same family. So, when the great Chief in
Washington sends word that he wishes to buy land, he
asks much of us. The great Chief sends word he will reserve
us a place so that we can live comfortably to ourselves.
He will be our father and we will be his children. So, we
will consider your offer to buy our land. But it will not be
easy.
For this land is sacred to us. This shining water that moves
in the streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of
I do not know. Our ways are different from your ways. The
sight of your cities pains the eyes of the red man. But
perhaps it is because the red man is a savage and does
not understand. There is no quiet place in the whitemans
cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or
the rustle of an insects wings. But perhaps it is because
I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only
seems to insult the ears. And what is there to life if a man
cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill or the
arguments of the frogs around a pond at night? I am a red
man and do not understand. The Indian prefers the soft
sound of the wind darting over the face of a pond, and the
smell of the wind itself, cleaned by a midday rain, or
scented with pinion pine.
The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the
same breath-the beast, the tree, the man, they all share
the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice
the air he breathes. Like a man dying for many days, he
is numb to the stench. But if we sell you our land, you
must remember that the air is precious to us, that the air
shares its spirit with all the life it supports. The wind that
gave our grandfather his first breath also receives his last
sigh. And, if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart
and sacred, as a place where even the white man can go
to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadows
flowers. So, we will consider your offer to buy our land. If
we decide to accept, I will make one condition: The white
man must treat the beast of this land as his brothers. I am
a savage and I do not understand any other way. Ive seen
a thousand rotting buffaloes on the prairie left by the white
man who shot them from a passing train. I am a savage
