Summary and Response of "Letter to President Pierce, 1855"

In this article Chief Seattle is mainly talking about how Indians don’t understand white men and how white men don’t understand Indians. One of the points Seattle discusses is how the value of land is seen differently among the two. Indians see the land as a sacred and prosperous place that is to be lived on and cherished. White men see land as being the same wherever they go, so they think they can take it from wherever or whomever, use it for a while, and then leave. The next point discussed is the two different styles of living. One style is peaceful, solitary, and laid back, while the other is loud and busy. One of the main underlying points is that the white men are expanding and intruding onto the Indian’s territory and the Indians can't understand why. They can't understand why the white men are taking their land, slaughtering the buffalo that the Indians use for their survival, steeling their horses and clearing their land for expansion. The final main point made is that they, the Indians and the white men, are both human beings and are all connected, in the sense that what happens to one affects all.
This article says a lot in the whole one page of it and it’s all true. White men did intrude on the Indians and they did organize buffalo hunting in order to kill the buffalo, the Indians’ major food source, and get the Indians to either move out or die of starvation. The white men also took a lot of the Indians land away from them. They sent them to live on reservations, when Indians were used to free roam and no rules or boundaries. The white men did come from the city where it was loud and didn’t appreciate the Indians way of life. It has been known that the white men drove the Indians away because they thought they were savages. But what I can't understand is how the white men could treat the Indians so cruelly when; in reality they were both human beings with the same purpose, to survive.

If you want to earn more when you become a therapist or holistic practitioner, then it would make sense to have an open
mind and move away from the mindset of treating your private practice as though it is a hobby, right.
Remember that you are usually limited to a number of sessions so
you might want to consider paying out of your own pocket.

However, with CBT or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
one can see profound changes in the behavior of couples.

Boakyewa,
This is a extremely interesting topic you got
going on here. Today is your lucky day cos I'm living proof that it's absolutely possible
to fulfill your future really like on a networking or social websites website.
I met my now Wife on a social media internet
site (Not FB) but similar. I't was pure coincidence since I used to be not on that site to discover enjoy in the very first area.
Basically I discovered some from the issues she wrote about herself quite intriguing and intriguing thus wanted to understand a lot more. I commented on her bio no motive in mind than to know more about her hobby (studying people) which coincidentally is one particular on the items I prefer to do in my own free of charge time . We did lots of inboxing' back
and forth for over three months and in those three months we never ever spoke on the phone.
(personally I had been not so keen on talking with her on the phone).

Fast forward several months... It so happened that i
was in her city for some organization and that i experienced commented on my web page
on how horrible that city was oops! Effectively she
inbox me letting me know how offended she was cos I was talking about her city (experienced no thought).
She was so bent on proving to me how great her city was that she offered
to show me a few intriguing places in the city. Wow!
how bold... Not so keen on this I countered her supply by suggesting
a quick lunch in any area of her choice (she experienced to
prove me wrong). We met and to say the minimum the chemistry was instant.
.. Lunch went by so fast... had to leave back towards the hotel for any meeting so we
exchanged numbers and the remainder is history.

Still happily married with 1 stunning
daughter (a year old).
So all I've to say is the fact that adore has no strategy... It just hits you when you least expect and of course it can take place on fb as well .

Russian females have identified Australian men e mail addresses.
They're attempting to get out of Russia anyway they could. I hear Australian wives shedding their husbands to Russian girls. Too poor if Russia does not have gullible males to give them a lazy existence design and funds on desire.

I have found that drinking tepid water (6-8 oz) with half a
lemon squeezed into it gives me the alkaline ph I need to have so that I do not
suffer from acid reflux. I consume this if I am suffering or at least once a
day to give my liver a chance to detoxify also.

Waste water (H2O) is any type of H20 of which the
standard has been negatively affected by human activities.
Desalination plants are another means of improving the water supply.

All of that is changing now, thanks to a $65 million upgrade to
the local wastewater plant.

The plateau will pass and you will see weight loss results again, provided
you keep to your program. Review your journal entries before you
go to sleep to make sure you are staying
on track with your caloric goals. If you haven't been working out then you want to start your weight loss workout plan slowly.
