"This land is sacred." Should the white people drive the Indians away after buying the land?

Writing background 65438+In 1950s, the white leader of "Washington, D.C." wanted to buy Indian territory in the northwest of the United States. This article is based on the reply from Seattle, the Indian chief at that time. Seattle is very friendly to whites.

Indians Indians believe in animism. They respect nature and are in awe of everything in nature. They think that mountains are alive and call them "fathers". Indians are relatively closed and don't want strangers to disturb their lives. Until today, many Indian villages have no modern living facilities such as electricity, running water, telephone and television.

At present, there are 2.53 million Indians in the United States, belonging to more than 560 tribes and living in more than 200 Indian reservations. Among Indians, low-and middle-income people account for the vast majority of the total number.

Seattle, known as the evergreen city, is an incredible city. It has the lowest altitude, but it has ancient glaciers, active volcanoes and peaks covered with snow all year round. Seattle is also a unique city, with green hills, lakes, harbors and rivers, with a warm climate and spring-like seasons. No matter in the United States or in other parts of the world, there is hardly a second city like Seattle, with dense and almost primitive forests all over the mountains. Quiet harbors, rivers, green trees and colorful markets are arranged inside and outside the city. There are dozens of lakes of different sizes in the green hills around the city. The trees are lush, the grass is lush, and even the rain and the gently blowing wind are all green faces.
