Thoughts on Chief Seattle Reading

I also liked this reading. It made me thing of many personal things/experiences, that aren't directly related to the reading, but in a way, are still related. I dont know... this one really made me think, and i cant really put my thoughts into words...
I liked how he said that when his people die, they stay with the earth because they love it and respect it. And i liked the end when he was saying that the white man will think he's alone, but he'll never be alone, because the souls of the Natives will always be around. And for some reason, i really like how he says "the dead have power too". Im not quite sure what he meant by that, it could have many different meanings... maybe he meant that they'll haunt people to come, or maybe they'll be able to control nature (natural disasters) or both lol i dont know.
It made me think though, when he was talking about the white man's God not loving the red men... it made me think like... my God loves everyone. but i believe in a "white man religion"...? (Christianity)... I mean, there are a lot of people today who are christian and who aren't white. but they believe that God loves all races and all people...
The way Chief Seattle portrayed the "white man's god" was like.. a mean god. I dont think of my God as mean... I think of him more loving. But i can understand why he would think that.
I like the way the Native's think of the Great Spirit though... their "religion" seems a lot more loving and respecting/appriciating of earth n life and more enjoying of life. seems PEACEFUL. :)
