To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.
Chief SeattleWhen the green hills are covered with talking wires and the wolves no longer sing, what good will the money you paid for our land be then
Chief SeattleYour God loves your people and hates mine; he folds his strong arms lovingly around the white man and leads him as a father leads his infant son, but he has forsaken his red children; he makes your people wax strong every day, and soon they will fill the land; while my people are ebbing away like a fast-receding tide, that will never flow again. The white man's God cannot love his red children or he would protect them. They seem to be orphans who can look nowhere for help.
