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 "Seaat-la" or "Seealth" 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. At times, he had eight slaves, which was seen as a sign of wealth and status.
At the ripe age of death of one of his sons shook 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.
