Chief Seattle's Testimony Read by Sean Barrett
It has been claimed that this
'Testimony' is a translation of the actual words spoken in 1854 by Chief Sealth (better known as Seattle) of the Duwamish tribe, prior to the signing of the Indian treaties which handed over their territories to the white man. Whether the translation is genuine or not, the message conveyed is all too relevant, more than 100 years later - that the land and the creatures that inhabit it are a sacred trust.
