This was an inspiring speech by Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha. What I liked about this speech was the part where Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha says "You say that you are right and that we are lost. How do you know that this is true?" This is a good statement because we all have our own thoughts, ideas and opinions about religions. Each religion is different and has its own perspectives, so theres no need to tell someone that a certain religion is right and another one is wrong. You can choose any path of religion, you can decide what to believe in either its written in a book or spiritually or anything. Another part of this speech I liked was when Sa-Go-Ye-Wat-Ha talked about how "The Great Spirit has made us all." We are all different in many ways, skin color, culture, religion, etc. Each person has their own opinion and can believe in whatever they want.
The red man thought that he could live in peace with the white man and be friends, but that wasn't true. The white man wanted more and more land and power by forcing his beliefs on them. In my opinion, I think the chief and his people can believe in whatever they want and the white man should not push his beliefs on them but to show them how his religion works. Anyone can preach what they believe in and anyone can worship privately.
We should not judge each other, we should understand each other and know that each religion is different. I'm not a religious person but I would like to learn about what each religion believes in.
Everyone needs to respect each other, not put each other down and to unite together as one. Its amazing that this speech is 200 years old because it seems I would hear this speech today.
