Chief Seattle (1786-1866)

There was not a lot of trust between the white man and the red man, always fighting with each other. When he says that "Your God loves your people and hates mine. He puts his arm around the white man and leads him by the hand...There is no one to help us." I know back then that they believed the white people would not help them and took everything away from them. I admit the white people were cruel back then, but now we are all treated equally. It says that "we are two separate races, and we must stay separate. There is little in common between us." In my opinion we are all brothers and sisters. Doesn't matter what race we are or what we believe in, we are all equal.

This man was very harsh in what he had to say in this speech. I didn't like how he said that the white people forget about everything when they die and never return back spiritually. Seems like he's a bit judgmental, he doesn't know that for sure. He says that his people never forget the beautiful earth and come back spiritually. We are all the same yet different too. This speech is the total opposite from the other speech. Chief Seattle is so close minded and not open about anything.
I didn't enjoy this speech as much as the other one (Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha). Chief Seattle and Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha are completely two different people, Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha is a kind man and has respect for the white man and does not judge. Chief Seattle doesn't care for the white man, he only judges and points fingers.

Chief Seattle has so much anger and he has the right to be angry a lot of his people have died because of the white people. I mean if I was the Chief and my people died and everything was taken a way from me, I would be upset too because you built a family, a home and your people put all their trust on you for their safety and now everything was taken a way from them. The Chief understands and is not blaming the white brothers for causing this riot because he knows that they are partly to blame too.
