Why do I always have to be a wet blanket? The famous "letter" of Chief
Sealth was written in 1974 by a white T.V. script writer, and more nearly
reflects the views of 70's environmentalism than those of the real chief.
It has a number of anachronisms, such as mention of the buffalo, which
Sealth had never seen.
This was documented in the NY Times a few years ago-- I can probably
resurrect the article if anyone's interested.
