| Prophecy from the Creator A time of great trouble is coming to our Mother Earth. When this begins to happen go to the Native Peoples for they have suffered such great trouble before you. They will teach you things that will help you live through this trouble... To the Native Peoples He has sent this message... Teach the young the old ways, because it will serve them in the days to come. Young ones listen to the Elders for their wisdom is like a good medicine for the saving of your race... Strive to come in unity amoung yourselves let no division be your enemy now.... For the enemy came to divide you and divided you fell... Seek that which is simple and basic in life... They will move faster, but you must walk slower. (regarding the rest of the world and it's speed into technology.) you must walk with sure footing and that requires you to slower, let them rush on to their end.. Let go of their ways and their thinking for it will only end in their own destruction.. You are the oppressed of the land and I am on the side of the oppressed, and I have promised to rise up and the oppressed in the land before the final day.. You will become stronger by seeking basics and walking slower, where they will become weaker.. You have suffered before them and they have been part of your suffering.. You once were a people after my own heart before they came. You were blessed people who lived the simple way and I blessed you with good health and plenty... but then your enemy came and changed all things.. This foreshadowed what was to come upon your enemies in days yet to come... They sought to wipe you away, but I would not allow their plans to succeed, I preserved you for succ a time as this... You will be the teachers for you know who I am ans you will teach them unity, love and sharing of Creation with respect... Many of them will perish, a remnant will be saved, and they will come to you for help and learning... Teach them how to love and worship Me in the simple way, teach them love and respect for Me first and then for all I ahve created..Before they were not willing to listen.. If they had, things would be different... Remember to teach the young people how to live the simple way and to not be so eager to join that which is rushing forward.... and to you who are younger remember to listen to those who are the Elders. Remember you must walk slower.. Rushing forward will only serve to make you miss something that you must see. He has so many times reminded me to share this message to our Native Brothers and Sisters. I know it to have indeed came from Him and I know it is a vital message for the coming days in which trouble hoovers in it's wings... Since He gave me this, I have learned to seek the simple way... I have learned and even sought out the Elders to teach me what I did not know. I have learned to walk slower, and I realize indeed that I had been missing many vital things while I was rushing forward |

| Our Creator gave us a responsibility This is to to share and teach what we have had passed down to us to the 7th Generation. It will be those who have been taught to keep the ways hidden who will be the hardest ones to convince that now is the time to share. To much has already died with our ancestors. We must not let anymore die. We must stand up and start teaching our children as well as each other. I am not saying to teach the differences, but the teach what makes us the same. Honoring the four directions, honoring the Creator, honoring our Mother Earth and Honoring ourselves. We must look beyond our definition of what is sacred and seek out what these sacred things mean to all of us. Even though different, they are all basically the same. I stand before you and I say I honor you. Aisv nv wado hi ya bo |
