It was inspired by the Testimony of Chief Seattle, published in 1887 which speaks “Transformation Through Change” . “Nearly 150 years ago Chief Seattle, a respected and peaceful leader of one of the Northwest Indian Nations , delivered a compelling message to the government in Washington who wanted to buy his people’s land. He believed that all life on earth, and the earth itself, is sacred, and that man’s heedless abuse of native will lead to its destruction. Essentially it was a powerful plea for conservation.”
