A LETTER FROM CHIEF SEATTLE TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

In 1854, the U.S. president tried to buy the territory of the Suwamish Indians. This was Chief Seattle’s response…
Poetry and politics are opposite spheres of human knowledge. Each orbits problems which, while sometimes permeated, belong to what are essentially separate areas. Poetry, throughout its history, has often been tempted to offer its own evanescence to the fray of war, sacrificing its substance to the common good and then drying in the inhospitable glare of ideology. It’s quite possible, as Octavio Paz once stated, that no poet has ever seen his poetry strengthened by putting it to the service of a political idea. It happens that poetry sometimes shows an unusual mobilizing potential, and its evocative force unexpectedly destabilizes some rigid utilitarian structure. The letter below is a clear example of this.
It was written in 1854. The 14th president of the United States, Franklin Pierce was a territorial expansionist and a supporter of slavery. He sent a letter to Chief Seattle of the Suwamish tribe seeking to purchase the Northwest Territories, those which today make up Washington state. The chief’s response was sent without delay. That same year, he gave a speech to the territorial Governor, Isaac I. Stevens. That speech is known today as Chief Seattle’s Response.
