"Tribe follows
tribes, and nation follows nation.
It’s like the
waves of the sea,
it is the order of nature and regret is
useless.
Your time of decay may be distant,
but it will surely come, for even the white
man’s God,
who walked & talked with him,as friend
with friend,
could not escape the common destiny.
We may be brothers after all, we shall see!"
1854 a prophesy
by Chief Seattle (1786-1866)
to the
president of United States of America
