Chief Seattle speech - We are part of the earth and it is part of us.
Chief Seattle, 1786-1866, was Northwest coast Indian of the Suquami tribe and should give name to the city of Seattle. He played an important part of the whites peace treaties. As a prelude to negotiating treaties with the United States, he delivered a speech to Governor Stevens in 1854 and it is this speech that is called "Chief Seattle's speech." Chief Seattle's beautiful speech from 1854 have through the ages been interpreted and construed in many ways. Here you have the opportunity to read the speech in its two main versions. Ted Perrys version of the Speech. And Henry A. Smidts version of the Speech published in Seattle Sunday Star October 29, 1887.
The Speech of Chief Seattle
This moving oration is one of the greatest statements ever made regarding the relationship between a people and the Earth. It is the most widely quoted speech by a Native American.
Answering Chief Seattle
Over the years, Chief Seattle's famous speech has been embellished, popularized, and carved into many a monument, but its origins have remained inadequately explained. Understood as a symbolic encounter between indigenous America, represented by Chief Seattle, and industrialized or imperialist America, represented by Isaac L Stevens, the first governor of Washington Territory, it was first published in a Seattle newspaper in 1887 by a pioneer who claimed he had heard Seattle (or Sealth) deliver it in the 1850s. No other record of the speech has been found, and Isaac Stevens's writings do not mention it Yet it has long been taken seriously as evidence of a voice crying out of the wilderness of the American past. Answering Chief Seattle presents the full and accurate text of the 1887 version and traces the distortions of later versions in order to explain the many layers of its mystery. This book also asks how the speech could be heard and answered, by reviewing its many contexts. Mid-century ideas about land, newcomers, ancestors, and future generations informed the ways Stevens and his contemporaries understood Chief Seattle and recreated him as a legendary figure.
Chief Seattle and the Town That Took His Name
This is the first thorough historical account of Chief Seattle and his times--the story of a half-century of tremendous flux, turmoil, and violence, during which a native American war leader became an advocate for peace and strove to create a successful hybrid racial community. When the British, Spanish, and then Americans arrived in the Pacific Northwest, it may have appeared to them as an untamed wilderness. In fact, it was a fully settled and populated land. Chief Seattle was a powerful representative from this very ancient world. Historian David Buerge has been researching and writing this book about the world of Chief Seattle for the past 20 years. Buerge has threaded together disparate...
