During the 1850s, the white man negotiated to buy some land from the Northwest Nations. Chief Seattle, head of the Suquamish and Duwamish Indians, spoke to the white man in his native tongue about the importance of preserving the earth. His speech, translated here and lushly illustrated by Susan Jeffers, eloquently conveys the message that we must respect the earth and all it has on it. This speech has been the cornerstone for many environmental movements.
