Chief Seattle's impassioned plea to respect the "Sacred Web of Life" has been translated worldwide and has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement. But what did he really say? This edition features the version of Chief Seattle's speech that the Suquamish elders from Seattle's tribe include in their oral tradition, and gives valuable insight into the three most often quoted speeches attributed to Chief Seattle.. This revised edition also includes background information on Chief Seattle, the history of the region at the time, and the culture of the Suquamish then and now. Includes rare photographs from the Suquamish Tribal Archives of 19th century village life.
