DIRECTIONS for questions 9-27:The passage given below is followed by a set of questions. Choose the most

appropriate answer to each question.

In 1854 the Great White Chief in Washington made an offer for a large area of land of the red

Indians and promised a reservation for the Indian people and the Chief of Seattle replies; How can you buy

or sell the sky, the warmth of the land? The idea is strange to us. If we dont own the freshness of the air and

sparkle of the water, how can you buy them? Every part of this earth is sacred to my people. Every shining

pine needle, every sandy shore, every mist in the dark woods, every clearing and humming insect is holy in

the memory and experience of my people.

The sap which courses through the trees carries the memories of the red man. The whitemans deadforget the country of their birth when they go to walk among the stars. Our dead never forget this beautiful

earth, for it is the mother of the red man. We are part of the earth and it is part of us. The perfumed flowers

are our sisters; the deer, the horse, the great eagle, these are our brothers. The rocky crests, the juices in

the meadows, the body heat of the pony, and manall belong to the same family. So, when the great Chief

in Washington sends word that he wishes to buy land, he asks much of us. The great Chief sends word he

will reserve us a place so that we can live comfortably to ourselves. He will be our father and we will be his

children. So we will consider your offer to buy our land. But it will not be easy. For this land is sacred to us.

This shining water that moves in the streams and rivers is not just water but the blood of our ancestors. If

we sell you land, you must remember that it is scared, and you must teach your children that it is sacred and

that each ghostly reflection

in the clear water of the lakes tells of events and memories in the life of my people. The water murmur isthe voice of my fathers father. The rivers are our brothers, they quench our thirst. The rivers carry our

canoes, and feed our children. If we sell you our land, you must remember, and teach your children, that the

rivers are our brothers, and yours, and you must henceforth give the rivers the kindness you would give any

brother. We know that the whiteman does not understand our ways.

One portion of land is the same to him as the next, for he is a stranger who comes in the night and

takes from the land whatever he needs. The earth is not his brother, but his enemy, and when he has

conquered it, he moves on. He leaves his fathers graves behind, and he does not care. He kidnapsthe earth

from his children, and he does not care. His fathers grave and his childrens birthright are forgotten. He

treats his mother, the earth, and his brother, the sky, as things to be bought, plundered, sold like sheep or

bright beads. His appetite will devour the earth and leave behind only a desert.

I do not know. Our ways are different from your ways. The sight of your cities pains the eyes of the

red man. But perhaps it is because the red man is a savage and does not understand. There is no quiet place


4/29


in the whitemans cities. No place to hear the unfurling of leaves in spring, or the rustle of an insects wings.

But perhaps it is because I am a savage and do not understand. The clatter only seems to insult the ears. And

what is there to life if a man cannot hear the lonely cry of the whippoorwill or the arguments of the frogs

around a pond at night? I am a red man and do not understand. The Indian prefers the soft sound of the

wind darting over the face of a pond, and the smell of the wind itself, cleaned by a midday rain, or scentedwith pinion pine.

The air is precious to the red man, for all things share the same breath the beast, the tree, the

man, they all share the same breath. The white man does not seem to notice the air he breathes. Like a man

dying for many days, he is numb to the stench. But if we sell you our land, you must remember that the air is

precious to us, that the air shares its spirit with all the life it supports. The wind that gave our grandfather

his first breath also receives his last sigh. And if we sell you our land, you must keep it apart and sacred, as a

place where even the white man can go to taste the wind that is sweetened by the meadows flowers.So we

will consider your offer to buy our land. If we decide to accept, I will make one condition: The white man

must treat the beast of this land as his brothers. I am a savage and I do not understand any other way, Ive

seen a thousand rotting buffaloes on the prairie left by the white man who shot them from a passing train. Iam a savage and I do not understand how

the smoking iron horse can be more important than the buffalo that we kill only to stay alive. What is man

without the beast? If all beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of spirit. For whatever

happens to the beast, soon happens to man. All things are connected.

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers.

So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your

children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls

the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves. This we know: The earth does

not belong to man; man belongs to the earth. This we know. All things are connected like the blood, which

unites one family. All things are connected. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of earth. Man did not

weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does tohimself. Even the white man whose God walks and talks with him as friend to friend, cannot be exempt from

the common destiny. We may be brothers after all. We shall see. One thing we know, which the white man

may one day discover, our God is the same God. You may think now that you own Him as you wish to own

our land; but you cannot. He is the God of man, and His compassion is equal for the red man and the white.

This earth is precious to Him, and to harm the earth is to heap contempt on its Creator. The whites too shall

pass; perhaps sooner than all other tribes. Contaminate to your bed, and you will one night suffocate in your

own waste. But in your perishing you will shine brightly, fired by the strength of the God, who brought you

to this land and for some special purpose gave you dominion over this land and over the red man. That

destiny is mystery to us, for we dont understandwhen the buffaloes are all slaughtered, the wild horses are

tamed, the secret corners of the forest heavy with scent of many men, and the view of the ripe hills blotted

by talking wires. Where is the thicket? Gone? Where is the eagle? Gone. The end of living and the beginning

of survival.
