RiebeENG 098April 6, 2014Chief Seattle: A Letter to President PierceIn his speech, a letter to President Pierce from 1855, Chief Seattle attempts to prove that while Native Americans and white Setters can be tolerant of these alliances, both groups can perhaps learn to live and understand each other.Chief Seattle, leader of the indigenous tribes of America. He is known for his courage and great leadership. Apart from this, he also maintained friendly relations with white men (California State University Northridge, 2014). “For the most part, the tribes lived in peace, believing that nature was sacred and should be shared. However, the arrival of Europeans and the removal of their lands led to conflicts both between different tribes and between Indians and whites (History on the Net, 2012). “Many groups of Native Americans lived in America. Some of them were the Apache, Cherokee, Pawnee and others. As indigenous people, their value systems focused on the value of nature and the sharing of all life on earth. Additionally, they valued equality in all things related to life. From Chief Seattle's letter to President Pierce in 1855, he included this phrase: "For all things share the same breath - beast, tree, and man." » Indians or Native Americans had completely different lifestyles. compared to white men. They think that white people are only there to get what they wanted from the resources and treasures of the earth, leaving others spoiled. The methods of white men are too selfish. They enjoy all the pleasures of what they do, without worrying about the damage they might cause because of it. The letter used the words “red man” to refer to Native Americans. This term is...... middle of paper ......tion of those intended for use. But it's not too risky for them. What would be the effect of small sacrifices in exchange for progress and everything else? But the red men think things the other way. Nature and the earth should not be wasted in any way. They believe that Earth is a friend and everything in it. So, whatever is found there, they must not be expelled under any circumstances. Because the destruction of that means the destruction of us.
