Sinopsis
In the 1850`s, when the US wanted to buy his people`s Pacific Northwest land, Chief Seattle delivered this eloquent message to a Commissioner of Indian Affairs. since then, it has been adapted several times, by Joseph Campbell among others. Poetic and compelling, it`s a plea to revere and preserve the web of creation: Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. Jeffers`s finely detailed art focuses on the beauty and nobility of the Native Americans` world, with a tidy clearcut forest to represent the depredations to come. A handsome setting for an evermore resonant appeal. (Kirkus Reviews)
