Chief Seattle's speech (by Mark Sawalha)

This film is made in Finland. You can see the beautiful scandinavian nature in many scenes. The story is based on Chief Seattle's respond to American government after they wanted to buy the land from native americans. This is the third and the most popular version of the speech and it's modified in 1970's. Chief Seattle was a leader of the Suquamish and Duwamish Native American tribes in what is now the U.S. state of Washington. The city of Seattle in Washington state is named after him.

No they never apologized they just continued to kill native culture and hope that eventually it would die and no native people would be left. But what the white man doesn't know is that no matter how many Indians they kill our spirits never die. The red race has survived genocide and won't die in this life or the next. Red people will never leave our mother. Our mother will take care of thirds who care for her.

Have the Americans ever apologized for the things they have done to these people?

[solosol76]

We are the Ancestors.

We have come back to heal the damage to our Mother Earth, and to reclaim our right given to us by the Creator, to care for this Beautiful Creation.

We have come back to remember who we are and to remember the right way to with eachother in Peace and Generousity.

Honor all life... we are all facets of the same Beautiful Gem.

[LoveVanillaRose]

The overall message is positive. At this time it may be more important to pay attention to the message of healing and renewal for Humanity and for our Mother Earth,..... than it is to nit pick about exact facts about the past.

Love and Peace are spreading across our Beautiful Planet, these energies will manifest as a totally New Reality in which we all will experience Freedom, Prosperity and Unity.

Our Ancestors are with us. We are they. We have come back to make things right again.

LOVE..

@dudes110 Hey I am not being negative the facts are the same as Machwon has stated this is not his speech and he never said these words. I live in the puget sound area and I know the customs of the Salish tribes and their heritage and they didnt have horses and didnt hunt buffalo and they would not have known what a prarrie is.

The salish were very different from others.

I think its better to be factual than to twist history for your agenda and play on the ignorance of people.

@dudes110 "His way" is the way of the New People on this planet, people who cares and takes responsibility. Don't be so negative, negativity kills.
