Chief Seattle

I thought is was very interesting when he said the sky has pitied our fathers for many hundred of years. How does he know this and what makes him think this? I liked how he compared his words to the stars, and how he says they do not set. You can really tell that he loves earth and nature as he makes many comparisons to the world. He says that the White Chief's people are as the grass that covers the plain, and his people are few like the trees. I also like how he compares the people covering the land to a flood tide in the wind. It was very interesting that he said, "your god loves your people and hates mine" and that "god is prejudice". He continues to make relations to the earth and says that his people are as an ebb tide, never returning. I enjoyed that he was respectful to the graves of their fathers and viewed them as sacred, but didn't like how he said that they leave their fathers graves behind and don't care. I loved how he views the earth, all in sacred by his people, every hill, and clearing and wood. I love his many comparisons he uses between his people and the earth but don't agree with how he views the white man's god.
