Wiesbaden (world-of-indian) - The famous line "Only when the last tree is felled, the last river poisoned, the last fish is caught, people will find that you can not eat money" is falsely attributed to the Indian Chief Seattle (1786-1866) attributed. In reality, these often quoted words are from a prediction of the Canadian Cree tribe. This revealed Sonja Ernst Probst and Probst in their pocketbook "My words are like the stars" (The speech delivered by Chief Seattle and other American Indian Wisdom ") ..
Chief Seattle was due to a speech in which he warned the whites around 1855 on respect for nature, one of the great idols of the ecology movement of the 20th and 21 Century. But according to Sonja Probst and Ernst Probst is unclear whether the speech at all, and Seattle - has so held - if yes. Because the ear witness Dr. Henry Smith (1830-1915), who had German ancestors, the text published in 1887 - more than 30 years - after the speech.
The name of the legendary chief of the Indians was guttural "Sea? At-la" or "See? Alth" extremely. The whites, however designated him their settlement and because of difficulties with the stress as Seattle, to which the chief said he would after his death, every time would be if his name said so, turn in his grave.
Seattle was originally - the two authors, not a peace-loving Indians. As a young man he joined in attacks on other strains produced a brave warrior. The whites feared him so much that he was asked for a contract, the murder under oath denied. His powerful voice was heard supposedly half a mile. Time, he had eight slaves, which was seen as a sign of wealth and status.
shook the ripe old age of death of one of his sons Seattle so much that he accepted the Catholic faith and be baptized in the name "Noah" was. This event marks the end of his time fighting.
