Answer:

Chief Seattle was an important figure in the early American History. He was the chief of the Squamish and Duwamish tribes, fighting for the rights of his native people in the face of American colonisers.

His Speech, was given to his people, when American Colonisers, wanted to buy Native Land of this tribe and in return offered them amnesty and the right to live there.

As an old Chief who had seen natives killed, he reluctant accepted the offer, since he believed, turning it down will only result in the total annihilation of his tribe.

His Speech was consolatory in nature, helping his people to understand what was going on, their weak position in the political climate and helping them to understand the transition they were now forced to make.

He even mentions how Canada's borders are now being controlled by King George but their 'Big Chief' and 'Father' is now a White man who sits in Washington.

It is considered a legendary speech by native Americans to do this day as it sums up their plight in front of American colonisers.
