... When Chief Seathle was sent a letter
from the president stating that his land wanted to be bought, he
responded by writing a letter about how the land did not truly belong to
him or his people and how if settlers mistreated nature then soon future
generations won’t have the natural resources that we today have. Chief
Seathle effectively persuades the audience to believe that nature should
not be wasted by using cardstacking, exigency, and questioning as
persuasive techniques.
The first persuasive technique that Chief Seathle used was
cardstacking. ... ” When Chief Seathle stated
this he only viewed the problem from the Native American’s point of
view. ... Furthermore, when talking about how
precious earth is, Chief Seathle said “Every part of this earth is sacred
to my people. ... Chief Seathle
used cardstacking as a persuasive technique to persuade the reader to
believe that only the Native Americans understood nature and how to
keep it clean so future generations could enjoy it also.
