How can you buy or sell the sky, the warmth of land? this idea is strange to us. If we don't won the freshness of the air and the sparkle of the water, how can you buy them?
This is parte of a letter writen in 1845. But the chief outburst has an incredible today. Had we learned what chief Seatle showed what their ansestors already knew in the nineteenth century, would we've been passing through the problems of Global warming?
when he wrote this letter, addressed to the president of the United States, Frankilin Pierce, in 1845, chief Seatle of Duwamish tribe, never imagined it would become current untill the present day. One of the most beautifull and magnificent speeches in defence of the environment ever written. The letter was a response to offers made by president Frankilin to purchaise the land from Duwamish, offering in exchange a new reservetion. The Duwamish indians inhabitated the region where today the U.S. state Washington in the far northwest of the United States border with Canada , just above the states of Montana, Idaho and Oregon and was considered a paradise on Earth. The original letter is in "The University of Washington Special Colection".
