Description

Chief Seattle's impassioned plea to respect "the Sacred Web of Life" has become an inspiration to many. But what did he really say? Our research lead us to the version the Suquamish elders from Seattle's tribe include in their oral tradition, published here with two popular twentieth century adaptations. Historical background explains the evolution of the speech and clears up the recent controversy surrounding the authenticity. - from Amzon
