“We are told that your religion was given to your forefathers and has been handed down, father to son. We also have a religion which was given to our forefathers and has been handed down to us, their children.” When reading Sa-go-ye-wat-ha’s speech these two lines really stuck in my mind. This really is true, we believe what our parents and grandparents have passed down to us whether others believe its true of false it does not matter. Nobody should be pushed into a religion or belief because you believe it is true of because someone tells them that their religion is untrue. What makes Sa-go-ye-wat-ha’s religion any less accurate than the missionary’s or mine. People like this Christian minister are who push people away from religion not draw people in. Sa-go-ye-wat-ha tells the Christian minister at the end of his speech, “We do not want to destroy your religion or take it from you. We only want to enjoy our own.”
I really enjoyed Sa-go-ye-wat-ha’s speech. It really gets me excited and ready for this class and all that we will learn and discuss.
