Cree Prophecy
Warriors of the Rainbow
Last century an old wise woman of the
Cree Indian nation, named "Eyes of Fire", had a vision of the future. She
prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or Yo-ne-gis' greed, there
would come a time, when the earth being ravaged and polluted, the forests being
destroyed, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, the
fish
being poisoned in the streams, and the
trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to
exist. There would come a time when the "keepers of the legend, stories, culture
rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs" would be needed to
restore us to health, making the earth green again. They would be mankind's key
to survival, they were the "Warriors of the Rainbow". There would come a day of
awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would form a New World of
Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.
The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would
spread these messages and teach all peoples of the Earth or "Elohi". They would
teach them how to live the "Way of the Great Spirit". They would tell them of
how the world today has turned away from the Great Spirit and that is why our
Earth is "Sick".
The "Warriors of the Rainbow" would show
the peoples that this "Ancient Being" (the Great Spirit), is full of love and
understanding, and teach them how to make the "Earth or Elohi" beautiful again.
These Warriors would give the people principles or rules to follow to make their
path light with the world. These principles would be those of the Ancient
Tribes. The Warriors of the Rainbow would teach the people of the ancient
practices of Unity, Love and Understanding. They would teach of Harmony among
people in all four corners of the Earth.
Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach
the peoples how to pray to the Great Spirit with love that flows like the
beautiful mountain stream, and flows along the path to the ocean of life. Once
again, they would be able to feel joy in solitude and in councils. They would be
free of petty jealousies and love all mankind as their brothers, regardless of
color, race or religion. They would feel happiness enter their hearts, and
become as one with the entire human race. Their hearts would be pure and radiate
warmth, understanding and respect for all mankind, Nature and the Great Spirit.
They would once again fill their minds,
hearts, souls, and deeds with the purest of thoughts. They would seek the beauty
of the Master of Life - the Great Spirit! They would find strength and beauty in
prayer and the solitude of life.
Their children would once again be able
to run free and enjoy the treasures of Nature and Mother Earth. Free from the
fears of toxins and destruction, wrought by the Yo-ne-gi and his practices of
greed. The rivers would again run clear, the forests be abundant and beautiful,
the animals and birds would be replenished. The powers of the plants and animals
would again be respected and conservation of all that is beautiful would become
a way of life.
The poor, sick and needy would be cared
for by their brothers and sisters of the Earth. These practices would again
become a part of their daily lives.
The leaders of the people would be chosen
in the old way - not by their political party, or who could speak the loudest,
boast the most, or by name calling or mud slinging, but by those whose actions
spoke the loudest. Those who demonstrated their love, wisdom and courage and
those who showed that they could and did work for the good of all, would be
chosen as the leaders or Chiefs. They would be chosen by their "quality" and not
the amount of money they had obtained. Like the thoughtful and devoted "Ancient
Chiefs", they would understand the people with love, and see that their young
were educated with the love and wisdom of their surroundings. They would show
them that miracles can be accomplished to heal this world of its ills, and
restore it to health and beauty.
The tasks of these "Warriors of the
Rainbow" are many and great. There will be terrifying mountains of ignorance to
conquer and they shall find prejudice and hatred. They must be dedicated,
unwavering in their strength, and strong of heart. They will find willing hearts
and minds that will follow them on this road of returning "Mother Earth" to
beauty and plenty - once more.
The day will come, it is not far away.
The day that we shall see how we owe our
very existence to the people of all tribes that have maintained their culture
and heritage. Those that have kept the rituals, stories, legends and myths
alive. It will be with this knowledge, the knowledge that they have preserved,
that we shall once again return to "harmony" with Nature, Mother Earth and
mankind. It will be with this knowledge that we shall find our "Key to our
Survival".
Sioux Prophesy
There will come a time when the earth is sick
and the animals and plants begin to die. Then the
Indians will regain their spirit and gather people
of all nations, colors and beliefs to join together
in the fight to save the Earth:
The Rainbow Warriors.
