of intensive cultivation.
Governor Isaac Stevens, first
territorial governor of Washing
ton, was man of tremendous
energy, and he went two-fisted into
his campaign to get the Indians
to sign treaties. His first concern
was the canoe Indians west of the
Cascades. All over the coast he
Travelled, talking, talking, talking,
getting Indians to sign treaties to
give up their land TO the whites.
Did the Indians all know they
were signing away their birth
right? Perhaps some did; perhaps
others did not-at this late date
we will never know.
II is highly significant. however,
that as soon as the government
started putting the treaties into
effect, Indian uprisings started all
over the state.
Some Indians were ALWAYS
friendly to the whites, notably
Chief Sealth, whose name was
corrupted into Seattle" AS a
leader of the rebellious Indians,
the name of Leschi, of the Ms
qualities, stands out.
He claimed that he did not sign
the treaty which would have put
his people onto a point of barren
land. Historians still debate over
whether or not he actually signed
the treaty.
But whether or not Leschi sign
ed, the IndiVn was doomed to be-
come a subservient race to the
conquering whites. There was too
much pressure, too many whites in
the east clamoring for free land.
The Indian was bound to 60, as
surely as the horse was bound to
make way for the automobile.
The tragic fate of the races of
the earth, which rise and fall, was
beautifully expressed by old Chief
Sealth, when he said to Governor
Stevens. in ominous prophecy:
why should l mourn the I'M
timely fate of my people? Tribe
follows tribe, and nation follows
nation, like the waves of the sea.
1t 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, whose God walked and talk
ed with him as friend, cannot
escape the common destiny. We
may be brothers, after all
