This land is a sacred historical background.

In the 1950s, white leaders in Washington, D.C., wanted to buy Indian territory in the northwestern United States. This passage is a letter from the local chief in Seattle to the white people. Let them treat this land well. Later, in memory of him, the land was named Seattle. Chief Seattle (1786-1June 7, 866) is an Indian, yellow race and the oldest resident in the United States. He is a leader of Indian tribes in Washington State, USA, believes in Catholicism, and is willing to establish personal friendship with David Swainson Maynard, a white immigrant and one of Seattle's founders. According to Maynard's suggestion, Seattle was named after Seattle Chief. Seattle wrote "This Land is Sacred", which was compiled according to the reply of Indian Chief Seattle at that time. Seattle is very friendly to whites, and white residents built a monument on his grave. After the Indian territory in Seattle was forcibly acquired by white people, in order to commemorate this great Indian chief, this land was named after him, which is now Seattle, USA. ? When the chief of Seattle was forced to leave the land named after him, he said to the white man who drove him to the "reservation": "I will go. But before I go, I have a request to the big leaders in Washington. I ask you to be as kind to the creatures in this land as we are. " ? Chief Seattle knows very well that how human beings treat the environment and the life in the environment will eventually become their own destiny. He is pleading for all mankind. But before the laws of nature came into effect, the words of Chief Seattle were ignored.
