Mr. President, I Am Chief
Seattle
A NEW MESSAGE TO MANKIND FROM
THE FAMOUS NATIVE AMERICAN CHIEF
Chief Seattle, leader of the
Suquamish and Duwamish tribes of northwestern
of United States said verbatim in
1854: "The dead are not powerless".
This was demonstrated in the 1970's, when an alleged letter attributed to Chief Seattle (addressed, it was said, to President Franklin Pierce), toured the world and became the most important environmental manifesto in our times, with phrases that have become part of the collective unconscious
of humanity, such as: "Man did not weave the web of life: he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself".
Now, in this new millennium, and firmly believing in the words of Seattle that the dead are not powerless, Grian has linked this belief to the theories of the collective
unconscious of Carl Gustav Jung to give us a new message from this
known Native American
Chief.
The message of Seattle, in letter form, addressed to the U.S. President, was sent to the White House during the last months in
office of President George W. Bush, who never replied.
