History

Multi-color poster printed on white paper contains an excerpt of a speech attributed to Chief Seattle titled "This Earth Is Precious" framed by a forest landscape. A man in North American Indian dress appears at center left. Multiple animals appear in the scene including a deer, a raccoon, a rabbit, a fox, a bear, and a hawk. Small text at bottom left reads, "In 1854 the federal government made an offer to buy Indian lands and resettle the tribes on reservations. This excerpt from Chief Seattle's memorable reply is one of the most profound and beautiful statements on the environment ever made."
