The World of Chief Seattle: How Can One Sell The Air?
- Used Book in Good Condition
Chief Seattle gave his now famous speech in 1854 during treaty negotiations with the U.S. government, which was intent on forcing the Native people of Washington's Puget Sound onto reservations. This book puts Chief Seattle's life into the context of his time and gives an historical account of Suquamish from pre-contact time to the present. It includes the tribe's authorized version of Chief Seattle's famous speech.
The book was written in cooperation with the Suquamish tribe and they receive a portion of the royalties.
Includes the complete speech and many rare, turn-of-the-century photographs of village life.
