Description

This story of Chief Seattle and his tribe, the Suquamish, gives readers a much better understanding of the great Chief who had the city of Seattle named after him. Renowned today for an eloquent speech given during treaty negotiations with the U.S. government, this book puts the Seattle's life into the context of his time and gives a brief history of the region and its many tribes, especially the Suquamish. Included is the complete speech as recorded by Dr. Henry Smith and recognized by the Elders of the tribe to be the most accurate account of the speech. Also included is a look at the Suquamish today, along with many rare 19th and 20th century photographs of village life dispersed throughout the book .
