How does chief seattle prove that the white man's God is not the God of the natives
Answers
Answer:
Chief Seattle begins by saying that the vast changeless sky that has been caring towards them for centuries, might change. Dark clouds might overcast it. But he assures his own trustworthiness by comparing his words to the stars that never change. The White Chief (the Governor) had arrived with the proposal and the message of friendship from the Big Chief (the President). Seattle says that it is very kind of the government to offer goodwill and friendship to the natives because he knows that the government has no need of the natives’ friendship. The white people are large in number; they are like the grass covering the Prairies grasslands. On the other hand, the natives are like scattered trees in a storm-swept land- very few left in number. The Governor wished to buy their land but had also offered them a little space to live comfortably. Seattle speaks of the deplorable condition of his people. He remembers that once they had filled the entire country, but now, there are only a few people left in their tribes. They are on the verge of extinction. So actually, they don’t need vast lands anymore.
