Another quote from "The Wisdom of the Native Americans," compiled and edited by Kent Nerburn (see links in previous post).
From Chief Seattle, Suqwamish and Duwamis nations, who was familiar with whites' broken promises and other abuses:
"The whites, too, shall pass -- perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your own bed, and you will one night suffocate in your own waste."
See any evidence of that happening? Financial institutions, political organizations and other socioeconomic groups these days should hear his words.
What do you make of the chief's view?
