*Chief Seattle`s letter

There are many versions of the text you are reading this week. This is one of the shorter, easier versions. We have been talking about money for several weeks now, but the truth is, there are so many things money cannot buy.


Read this letter. While you read you should answer the following questions:

• What is Chief Seattle`s message?
• What does this text tell us about the Native American`s way of looking at life and nature?
• How did this philosophy become a conflict with the new settlers?

Read the text. (If you like you can listen to it here.) Learn all the words.

This is homework for 9CD for Monday 15th September.
This is homework for 9EF for Thursday 18 September
