How do ancestors of white fail to inspire them? Why do tribals remember their ancestors?
Answers
Answer:
As Chief Seattle says it in his speech, the native Red people of America are more dependent on their ancestors than their white counterparts. Their religion has been the traditions of their ancestors — the dreams of their old men, ‘given them in the solemn hours of the night by the Great Spirit;’ and the visions of their sachems.
For every step in their life, the natives look back to their old people. They love and respect them very much. And that’s why they visit their resting places frequently to offer their regards or to find some solace.
On the other hand, the white people seem to forget their ancestors way too quickly. They are seen to wander far from the graves of their ancestors without regret.
This has been a fundamental difference to the way of life between the two distinct races.
