Chief Seattle (1786-1June 7, 866) is the leader of Indian tribes in Washington State, USA. He believes in Catholicism and is willing to establish personal friendship with white immigrants and one of Seattle's founders, David Swainson Maynard. According to Maynard's suggestion, Seattle was named after Seattle Chief. About a hundred years ago, he was the chief of an Indian tribe in the northwest of the United States. At that time, his people had to leave their land and move to a reservation. The situation is very sad. I think you all know the story. At that time, white people crossed the American continent from the east coast to the west, and many regrettable events happened. At that time, the chief of Seattle said an unusual sentence, which will remain in my heart forever. He said, "All right! We will leave. Because the Indians have tried everything, they fight, they run away, and finally there are only two ways left: to die or to move to the reservation. So the Seattle chief said, "All right! We will leave. But ... "

However, he added, "If I want to leave, I only have one request for the big leaders in Washington. 」

Now please think about it. What will he ask for? What would you ask if it were you? Put yourself in others' shoes. I may need more horses or blankets and food for a long journey.

This is not what Chief Seattle wants. His requirements are different. He said, "What we really want, all we ask is that white people can treat the animals in this land like us, treat them like brothers and treat them like a family." Why did Chief Seattle make such a request? I think I know the answer. He saw that we white people had deep xenophobia. Our alienation and indifference to life; He saw the endless vicious circle of war in our lives. He wanted to help us, for nature, for each other, for his people and even for ourselves.

For Chief Seattle and his people, life itself is sacred and needs mutual respect. Birds sing tactfully, which is tantamount to a chorus of poetry. The forest is a huge hall, and the breeze is like an active prayer. We are closely related to each other, and how we treat the environment and the life in the environment will eventually become our own destiny.

The head of Seattle is Seattle, known as the evergreen city, which is an incredible city.
