Answers
You can clearly and vividly see in the speech of Chief Seattle that the tribal people have been exploited and subdued by the white Americans, and this has been happening since many centuries. Earlier, the tribal people occupied the land, but their population has reduced over the centuries and therefore, the culture and the greatness of the tribe is on the verge of extinction. These tribal people are actually the 'Red Indians'.
The reason behind this decline and reduction of population and culture is the dominance of the White Americans, who forcibly take control of their lands. The whites take the rights of the Red Indian because they believe they are better and above Red Indians based on the color of the skin and genes. As a result of loss of land and rights, the Red Indians have been suffering since centuries. Chief Seattle, in his speech, says that all laws and human rights are for the Whites only and not for Red Americans or tribal people. Even God has given human rights to only the white Americans and not to the Red Indians.
The tribal people are also curbed and hindered to practice their culture and prayers by modifying the laws according to the convenience of themselves and the Red Indians are not considered in those laws. In this way, the Red Indians are harassed.
All the above mentioned points are mere clues of the sufferings of the Red Indians and the domination faced by them. Moreover, these people have also suffered attacks from people outside the tribes and the law making people, the whites are not always concerned about these attacks.

Chief Seattle's speech clearly indicates that tribal people have been exploited by the whites for centuries. White people forcibly take control of tribal lands, leading to an extinction of the tribes.
Because their skin is fair, white people think that they have right over the red Indians. As a result, red Indians are exploited and harassed by the white people, thereby bringing them to their days of doom.
