Question

Who is the great chief of Washington

Answer 1

Actually there is much confusion regarding the authenticity of the available version of Seattle’s speech and a dearth of reference on the identity of the White Chief and Great Chief mentioned by him. But a discussion on The Free Dictionary Language Forum hints that Chief Seattle meant the Governor of Washington Territory Isaac Stevens as “White Chief” and the President of America as the “Great Chief“. And I think ‘Big Chief’ and ‘Great Chief’ refers to the same person, the president of America. Though the President at the time of the speech was Franklin Pierce, Seattle actually referred to the first President George Washington, as they thought that he was still alive. [This is confirmed by Henry Smith’s version published here]

The Good Father at Washington refers to George Washington. Chief Seattle mentions that since King George has moved his boundaries further north, he has become the father the Native Americans.

Answer 2

Hey there!

The Great Chief at Washington is George Washington - Washington state is in the pacific region of the United States. The Great Chief at Washington wishes to buy the lands of Red Indians. He has also sent them the word of goodwill and friendship. The Great Chief promises the Red Indians that if they do as he desires, he will protect them. The white people's brave men will provide them strength and will protect them from ancient enemies.
