Chief Seattle Speech

Unless there is someone alive today that was actually there when Chief Seattle gave his speech, we can only go off of what someone else said. Often times this is the problem with history and stories in general because there is always more than one side, and it's very hard to find out the truth. In Chief Seattle's case, someone had to translate his speech for him, so words are easily lost in translation. Who knows if this is his actual or speech and whether this is really the message he was trying to give?
