Many things, always in the future will know how experienced. Such as feelings of pain passed, and will know how to protect themselves; silly too, and will know how to give timely, the gain and loss, I regret and familiar with their slowly. In fact, needs dedication, but also need to let go.

In the Speech of 1851 by Cheif Seattle he is addressing the Indians. In this speech he is saying how the Indians are going to be killed but their memory will always be there. No matter what the Americans do the Indians spirits will always be there. The Indians new if they tried to fight that the Americans would just slaughter them and that their spirts would stay and the Americans spirits will go.

In the short story “Speech of 1851” by Chief Seattle the speech is being addressed to the President of the United States at the time. He wants the white men to know that they will never be alone; that there will always be the Indian spirit of his tribe roaming around, because there grave lay threw-out the land. So he practically saying, that they will never have the land to themselves as they wish.

In “Speech of 1851” by Chief Seattle the leader of the Salish tribe closes by Puget Sound in Washington. The speech from Seattle is towards and telling Indians. The message within the speech is that the White Men are going to kill the Indians but their spirits will live around the White Men forever. But, the sad part is that the Indians knew that if they went to war with White Men that they will lose the war.

"Speech of 1851" is very informative piece of writing written by Chief Seattle. When Seattle states "when the last of Red Man shall have perished, and the memory of his tribe shall . . . become a myth among the White Men, [the] shores will swarm with the invisible dead of his tribe," he is addressing the white people (62). He was letting the white men know they will never be alone. They may rid the place of the Indians, but the Indians spirits will always be around. It was their land and simply because the white men do not wish for the red men to be there, the red men will never be gone. They will always be away whether in flesh or not.

When Seattle says that quote he is talking to the white men who are going to take his peoples land. He says that even though they are taking his land if the white men were to kill them for the land. That they would for evermore hount them and make their lives miserible.
