Chief Seattle, a hereditary leader of the Suquamish Tribe, was born around 1786, passed away on June 7, 1866, and is buried in the tribal cemetery at Suquamish, Washington. The speech Chief Seattle recited during treaty negotiations in 1854 is regarded as one of the greatest statements ever made concerning the relationship between a people and the earth - that speech, published in the Seattle Sunday Star, Seattle, Washington Territory, October 29, 1887, is reproduced on the third page for you. Below chief seattle's pic. is my favorite quote. What is yours? - Luther Bear, Native American. < **
