Question

a short summary of 200 between 300 words of chief Seattle's speech

Answer 1

There is controversy about this speech by Sealth concerning theconcession of native lands to the settlers.Even the date and location of thespeech has been disputed, but the most common version is that on March 11, 1854, Sealth gave a speech at a large outdoorgathering in Seattle. The meeting had been called by Governor Isaac Ingalls Stevens to discuss the surrender or sale of native land to white settlers. Doc Maynard introduced Stevens, who then briefly explained his mission, which was already well understood by all present.Sealth then rose to speak. He rested his hand upon the head of the much smaller Stevens, and declaimed with great dignityfor an extended period. No one alive today knows what he said; he spoke in the Lushootseed language, and someone translated his words into Chinook Indian trade language, and a third person translated that into English.
