Chief Seattle

I did not like Chief Seattle very much because the read was rather depressing than uplifting. In this speech, it appeared as if Chief Seattle was being submissive to the white man. His submissiveness to the white man irked me because I do not feel a perfectly good civilization should "bow down" and allow another civilization to take advantage of them. Also What I did like about his speech was that the Indians respect the dead and the earth, and I agree that more people, not just white people, should behave this way. Respect for the earth is important because it is our environment and everything we do causes a ripple effect, effecting other things.
