Hello friend!
Here's ur answer!
Seattle begins his speech by saying that nature has sympathized with people for many centuries. Today it is fair, but tomorrow may not be the same as the Great Chief in Washington wishes to buy their land. The great chief also sends them word of goodwill and friendship, but he is in little need of their friendship as his people are strong and powerful as compared to their natives.He says that there was a time when his people were large in number but now they are notthing more than a mournful memory. he will not mourn over they untimely decay. Youth is impulsive and young men often indulge in revengeful acts considering them to be gainful. In times of war, they even lose their own lives but the family that waits for them at home bears the loss. So the natives and the White sellers should never turn hostile to each other. He then refers to George Washington as their " good father" who promises the natives that if they do as he desires, he will protect them. Seattle says that the White peoples brave men will provide them strength and will protect them from ancient enemies. Natives God is different from the colonisers' God. The God of the Whites protects only the paleface children and foresakes the Red Indian children. The God of the natives the Great Spirit has foresaken them. If they have a common God then he is partial to his European children. They r two distinct races with separate origins and separate destinies. There is a great difference between them. He extols that there is sacredness associated not only with the ashes of their ancestors but also with this land which is their resting place; but the Whites wander far away from their ancestors' graves. The natives have close association with the dreams of their men. The ancestors of the European after death cease to love them ; but the Native Americans never forget the world that have them their being and identity. They keep on loving its valleys, it's rivers, it's magnificent mountains, and it's lakes. Not a single star of hope hovers above the natives' horizon. The winds moan and grim fate follows them. Their situation is similar to a wounded doe that is being hunted down. In a few more years, their race would disappear . White settlers too would have their decay, which, through distant, awaited them. However sharing the common Destiny , would help both their races. Seattle says that they would accept the Governor's proposal for surrendering their lands only in one condition : that they would never be denied the privilege of visiting the tombs of their ancestors. The land is sacred and pure. Every hill, every valley, every plain and even the rocks are holy. Chief Seattle ended his speech by saying that the White man would never be alone. Even when the last native would have perished the shores would swarm with the invisible dead of his tribe. He requests White men to deal kindly with his people as the dead are not powerless. He states that there is no death, but only a change of words.
