Question

why did the speaker wanted to remove hostilities between tribal people and white man?​

Answer 1

Answer:

There have always been some hostilities between the white people and the tribal people like the Red Indians. The white people try to force their way into the tribal areas and prove themselves superior in everything. But the tribal people are closer to mother Nature and don’t like the white people’s proud attitude as if they own the earth. Also, there have been fundamental differences between their thoughts, feelings and beliefs. While the white people are more mechanical and artificial in their way of life, the tribal remain with the nature and their ancient way of life where there is more value for people’s tears and smiles.

Chief Seattle has found a way-out to put an end to the hostilities between the two races. He suggests the white people to treat the land, the water, the air and all its people with the respect they deserve. The white people should behave with the tribal people as if they were close relatives. The tribal people should be allowed to visit the tombs of their ancestors, friends and children any time. Only then they can accept the White Chief‘s proposal.
