1854年美国政府向印第安索瓜米希族西雅图酋长(ChiefSeattle)提议收购他们的土地,并设置保留区。当时西雅图酋长手指天空,开始了一段发人深省的演说,他诚恳地呼吁人与人、人与土地应该和谐共处,被后世公认为对地球自然生态环境最优美最杰出的声明。这篇演说距令已经一百多年,然而时间不能消除西雅图酋长的真知灼见,反而因为时空转换而更显珍贵,1970年的地球日活动期间,剧作家佩瑞(TedPerry)受到西雅图酋长演说的启发,而以西雅图酋长的口吻重新写作的“你们怎能买卖天空?”阴错阳差地被冠上“西稚图首长的演说”,延续了西雅图酋长令人动容的视野,因此而传颂一时。
In 1854 the U.S. government proposed the acquisition of their land to the Chieftain Seattle of Indianagua and established a reserved area. At that time, the Seattle Chieftain’s finger sky began a thought-provoking speech. He sincerely called for people, people, and land to live in harmony and be recognized by later generations as the most outstanding statement of the most beautiful natural ecological environment in the world. The speech was more than a hundred years ago. However, time does not eliminate the insights of Seattle’s chiefs. It is even more precious because of time and space. During the Earth Day 1970, the playwright Ted Perry was inspired by the Seattle Chiefs’ speech. And, “How can you buy and sell the sky?” was rewritten in the tone of Seattle’s chieftain. It was praised as “the speech of the director of the Children’s Figure” and was a continuation of the moving vision of the Seattle Chiefs.
