How Can One Sell the Air?: Chief Seattle's Vision - Softcover
Now in a new format including the history of Chief Seattle's tribe and the Puget Sound region with many images of 19th century village life. Chief Seattle's impassioned plea to respect "the Sacred Web of Life" has become an inspiration to many. But what did Chief Seattle really say? Our research lead us to the version the Suquamish elders from Seattle's tribe include in their oral tradition, published here with two popular twentieth century adaptations.

About the Author:
Eli Gifford was writing a masters thesis on Chief Seattle and his famous speech. Together with Michael Cook, who talked to the Suquamish elders, interviewed Robert Perry and contacted the estate of William Arrrowsmith, they were able to trace the evolution of the original speech to two popular 20th century adaptations. Warren Jefferson, a photographer and researcher, was given access to rare photographs from the Suquamish archives for this book.
Review:
Chief Seattle's impassioned plea to respect the "Sacred Web of Life" has been translated worldwide and has become a rallying cry for the environmental movement. But what did he really say? This edition features the version of Chief Seattle's speech that the Suquamish elders from Seattle's tribe include in their oral tradition, and gives valuable insight into the three most often quoted speeches attributed to Chief Seattle.. This revised edition also includes background information on Chief Seattle, the history of the region at the time, and the culture of the Suquamish then and now. Includes rare photographs from the Suquamish Tribal Archives of 19th century village life.
