In the case of Plessi v. Ferguson (1896), the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on the doctrine of Division, but the equality of citizens and which for half a century delayed the process of obtaining black citizens of the United States equal with white civil rights.

The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Chief Seattle considered strange that the American government would want to buy the land on which the tribe is living because he questioned the President of the United States how he wanted to put a price on elements that had no material or monetary value such as the freshness of the air, or the beauty of the sky.

Chief Seattle's view of this land was that mother Earth was something sacred for the Native American Indians. Nature was holy for his tribe. All the elements of nature were sacred and celebrated by the Native Indians. That is why they performed dances to the elements and chants, to thank mother nature for everything it provided.
