Seattle

So this essay is basically about how the "plae faces" took over the land over the land previously owned by the native Americans. I honestly agree with everything he is saying about it. The white men did not love the land as much as the native americans. They actually thought it belonged to everyone. But they still loved the land and did not want anyone to harm it. It did give them food and stuff. So who wouldnt love something that feeds you? So in that case, i think they actually deserve the land more than the white men because they loved it and cherished it more. While the white men didnt really take much care of it at all. He also talks about how they were basically minding their business and palefaced people just show up and take it. Not cool. But for some reason they are just like ok and go over to their reservations. Thats one of the things that i do not agree with on the part of the native americans. If they had fought for what they wanted, they may have gotten more of their land. What the white men did was basically like me stealing someones phone, in front of them, and then selling it back to them. So the Native Americans should not have let them do that to them and their land. I think they should have at least went down with a bigger fight.
