There was the cycle of the mineral, the rock. There was the cycle of
the plant. And now we re in the cycle of the animal coming to the end
of that and beginning the cycle of the human being. When we get into
the cycle of the human being, the highest and greatest powers that we
have will be released to us. They will be released from that light or
soul that we carry to the mind. But right now we're coming to the end
of the animal cycle and we have investigated ourselves and learned
what it is to be like an animal on this earth.
  
At the beginning of this cycle of time, long ago, the Great Spirit
came down and He made an appearance and He gathered the peoples of
this earth together they say on an island which is now beneath the
water and He said to the human beings, "I'm going to send you to
four directions and over time I'm going to change you to four colors,
but I'm going to give you some teachings and you will call these the
Original Teachings and when you come back together with each other you
will share these so that you can live and have peace on earth, and a
great civilization will come about." And he said "During the cycle of
time I'm going to give each of you two stone tablets. When I give you
those stone tablets, don't cast those upon the ground. If any of the
brothers and sisters of the four directions and the four colors cast
their tablets on the ground, not only, will human beings have a hard
time, but almost the earth itself will die."
  
And so he gave each of us a responsibility and we call that the
Guardianship. To the Indian people, the red people, he gave the
Guardianship of the earth. We were to learn during this cycle of time
the teachings of the earth, the plants that grow from the earth, the
foods that you can eat, and the herbs that are healing so that when we
came back together with the other brothers and sisters we could share
this knowledge with them. Something good was to happen on the earth.
  
To the South, he gave the yellow race of people the Guardianship of
the wind. They were to learn about the sky and breathing and how to
take that within ourselves for spiritual advancement. They were to
share that with is at this time.
  
To the West He gave the black race of people the Guardianship of the
water. They were to learn the teachings of the water which is the
chief of the elements, being the most humble and the most powerful.
When I went to the University of Washington and I learned that it was
a black man that discovered blood plasma, it didn't surprise me
because blood is water and the elders already told me the black people
would bring the teachings of the water.
  
To the North He gave the white race of people the Guardianship of the
fire. If you look at the center of many of the things they do you will
find the fire. They say a light bulb is the white man's fire. If you
look at the center of a car you will find a spark. If you look at the
center of the airplane and the train you will find the fire. The fire
consumes, and also moves. This is why it was the white brothers and
sisters who began to move upon the face of the earth and reunite us as
a human family.
  
And so a long time passed, and the Great Spirit gave each of the four
races two stone tablets. Ours are kept at the Hopi Reservation in
Arizona at Four Corners Area on 3rd Mason.
  
I talked to people from the black race and their stone tablets are at
the foot of Mount Kenya. They are kept by the Kukuyu Tribe. I once had
the honor of presenting a sacred pipe at the Kukuyu Tribe carved from
the red pipe stone of Mount Kenya. I was at an Indian spiritual
gathering about 15 years ago. A medicine man from South Dakota put a
beaded medicine wheel in the middle of the gathering. It had the four
colors from the four directions; He asked the people, "Where is this
from?" They said, "Probably Montana, or South Dakota, maybe
Seskatchewan." He said, "This is from Kenya." It was beaded just like
ours, with the same color
  
The stone tablets of the yellow race of people are kept by the
Tibetans, in Tibet. If you went straight through the Hopi Reservation
to the other side of the world, you would come out in Tibet. The
Tibetan word for "sun" is the Hopi word for "moon" and the Hopi word
for "sun" is the Tibetan word for "moon".
  
The guardians of the traditions of the people of Europe are the Swiss.
In Switzerland, they still have a day when each family brings out its
mask. They still know the colors of the families, they still know
theymbols, some of them. I went to school with some people from
Switzerland at the University of Washington and they shared this with
me.
  
Each of these four peoples happen to be people that live in the
mountains.
  
In 1976 America had its bicentennial celebrating 200 years of
freedom. Some of the Native people thought this was significant and
they carried a sacred pipe bundle from the West Coast to the East
Coast of this land. They said that the roads of this land should
either go North-South or East-West. If they went North-South we would
come together as brothers and sisters, but if they went East-West
there would be destruction and almost the earth itself would have a
hard time. So you all know the roads went East-West. They said then
things would be lost from the East to the West and from the South to
the North and that they would come back again from the West to the
East and from the North to the South. So nine years ago in 1976 from
the West to East Coast of this land, from San Francisco to Washington,
D.C. people carried a sacred pipe bundle by hand, on foot. My aunt had
dreamt 15 years ago that people that didn't Like them would throw
rocks and bottles at that pipe bundle as they carried it across the
land. And sure enough that came about. But, as was in my aunt's dream,
the rocks only came so close and then they dropped, and nothing
touched it. When they reached the top of the Rocky Mountains, they hit
a hard storm. An elderly man with long white hair said, "I will carry
it now." They had a van that went alongside the people who were
walking. He got out of the van and carried the sacred pipe bundle
clear through that storm. He was so cold when he got back in the van
that someone touched his hair and it fell. His hair was frozen. You
have to be pretty cold for your hair to freeze but that old man
carried it through that storm because they said if they carried this
bundle across the earth, the powers would begin to come back. They
said a spiritual fire would be lit in the North and would come down
the Northwest Coast of this land. When it gets to the Puget Sound, it
would go inland. I think this, nine years later, is the gathering in
the North, myself. That's why I came here. This is it. We have the
capacity to start the-spiritual fire now, here. The old people long
ago saw it and foretold it and I'm going to come to that.
  
So we went through this cycle of time and each of the four races went
to their directions and they learned their teachings. It was on
Newsweek not too long ago that eight out of ten foods that people eat
on the earth are developed here in the western hemisphere because that
was our Guardianship, to learn the teachings of the earth, and the
things that grow from the erth. We were given a sacred handshake to
show when we came back together as brothers and sisters that we still
remembered the teachings. It was indicated on the stone tablets that
the Hopis had that the first brothers and sisters that would come back
to them would come as turtles across the land. They would be human
beings, but they would come as turtles. So when the time came close
the Hopis were at a special village to welcome the turtles that would
come across the land and they got up in the morning and looked out at
the sunrise. They looked out across the desert and they saw the
Spanish Conquistadores coming, covered in armour, like turtles across
the land. So this was them. So they went out to the Spanish man and
they extended their hand hoping for the handshake but into the hand
the Spanish man dropped a trinket. And so word spread throughout North
America that there was going to be a hard time, that maybe some of the
brothers and sisters had forgotten the sacredness of all things and
all the human beings were going to suffer for this on the earth. So
tribes began to send people to the mounds to have missions to try to
figure out how they could survive. At that time there were 100,000
cities in the Mississippi Valley alone, called the mound civilization:
cities built on great mounds. Those mounds are still there. If you
ever go out to Ohio or the Mississippi Valley, they're tourist
attractions now. There was 100,000 cities of Native people and they
were wondering how they could survive. They began to try to learn to
live off the land because they knew a hard time was going to come.
They began to send people to have visions to see how we could survive
this time. People came on the east coast and they went across this
land to the east and they were told in the prophecies that we should
try to remind all the people that would come here of the sacredness of
all things. If we could do that, then there would be peace on earth.
But if we did not do that, when the roads went clear from east to
west, and when the other races and colors of the Earth had walked
clear across this land, if by that time we had not come together as a
human family, the Great Spirit would grab the earth with his hand and
shake it. And so if you read the treaty negotiations from Red Jacket
of the Six Nations on the east coast of this land clear to Chief
Joseph and Chief Seattle on the west coast of this land, they all said
the same thing. Chief Joseph said, "I accord you the right, and I hope
you accord me the right, to live in this land." Always we were trying
to live together. But instead of living together, you all know there
was separation, there was segregation. They separated the races: they
separated the Indians, and they separated the blacks. In the state of
Washington it was against the law for an Asian to marry a white person
up until not too long ago. There was separation.
  
So when they got to the west coast of this land the elders that were
made aware of these prophecies said they would then begin to build a
black ribbon. And on this black ribbon there would move a bug. And
when you begin to see this bug moving on the land, that was the sign
for the First Shaking of the Earth. The First Shaking of the Earth
would be so violent that this bug would be shaken off the earth into
the air and it would begin to move and fly in the air. And by the end
of this shaking this bug will be in the air around the world. Behind
it would be a trail of dirt and eventually the whole sky of the entire
earth would become dirty from these trails of dirt, and this would
cause many diseases that would get more and more complicated. So the
bug moving on the land, of course I it's easy to see now. In 1908 the
Model-T Ford was mass produced for the first time. So the elders knew
the First Shaking of the Earth was about to come about that's the
First World War. In the First World War the airplane came into wide
usage for the first time. That was that bug moving into the sky. And
so they knew something very important would happen. There would be an
attempt to make peace on earth on the west coast of this land and so
the elders began to watch for this. They began to hear that there was
going to be a League of Nations in San Francisco so the elders
gathered in Arizona around 1920 or so and they wrote a letter to
Woodrow Wilson. They asked if the Indian people could be included in
the League of Nations. At that time the United States Supreme Court
had held that a reservation is a separate and semi- sovereign nation,
not a part of the United States but protected by it. This became a
concern because people didn't want the reservations to become more and
more separate. They didn't want them to be considered nations. So they
did not write back and the Native people were left out of the League
of Nations, so that circle was incomplete. In the League of Nations
circle there was a southern door, the yellow people; there was a
western door, the black people; there was a northern door, the white
people; but the eastern door was not attended. The elders knew that
peace would not come on the earth until the circle of humanity is
complete, until all the four colors sat in the circle and shared their
teachings, then peace would come on earth.
  
So they knew things would happen. Things would speed up a little bit.
There would be a cobweb built around the earth, and people would talk
across this cobweb. When this talking cobweb, the telephone, was built
around the earth, a sign of life would appear in the east, but it
would tilt and bring death. It would come with the sun. But the sun
itself would rise one day not in the east but in the west. So the
elders said when you see the sun rising in the east and you see the
sign of life reversed and tilted in the east, you know that the Great
Death is to come upon the earth, and now the Great Spirit will grab
the earth again in His hand and shake it and this shaking will be
worse than the first. So the sign of life reversed and tilted, we call
that the Swastika, and the rising sun in the east was the rising sun
of Japan. These two symbols are carved in stone in Arizona. When the
elders saw these two flags, these were the signs that the earth was to
be shaken again.
  
The worse misuse of the Guardianship of the fire is called the "gourd
of ashes". They said the gourd of ashes will fall from the air. It
will make the people like blades of grass in the prairie fire and
things will not grow for many seasons. I saw on television not too
long ago that they were talking about the atomic bomb, the gourd of
ashes. They said it was the best-kept secret in the history of the
United States., The elders wanted to speak about it in 1920. They
would have spoken of it and foretold it's coming if they could have
entered into the League of Nations. The elders tried to contact
President Roosevelt and ask him not to use the gourd of ashes because
it would have a great effect on the earth and eventually cause even
greater destruction and a the Third Shaking of the Earth, the Third
World War. I'll get to that in a few minutes.
  
So they knew after the Second Shaking of the Earth when they saw the
gourd of ashes fall from the sky then there would be an attempt to
make peace on the other side of this land. And because the peace
attempt on the west coast had failed, they would build a special house
on the east coast of this Turtle Island, and all the nations and
peoples of the earth would come to this house and it would be called
the House of Mica and it would shine like the mica on the desert
shines. So the elders began to see they were building the United
Nations made out of glass that reflects like the mica on the desert so
they knew this was the House of mica and all the peoples of the earth
should go to it. So they met and talked about this. They said that in
the 1920's they had written and they had not been responded to, so
they said this time we better go to the front door of the House of
Mica because things might get a lot worse. So elders representing a
number of tribes I believe drove to New York City. When the United
Nations opened they went to the front door of the house of Mica and
they said these words:
  
"We represent the indigenous people of North America and we wish to
address the nations of the Earth. We're going to give you four days to
consider whether or not we will be allowed to speak."
  
They retreated to one of the Six Nations Reserves in New York State.
The Six Nations Reserves are keepers of the Great Law of Peace of the
prophet that appeared here in North America, Dagonnorida. And this Law
of Peace is still recited, it takes four days between sunrise and
noon. Each year an Indian, by memory, must recite it about this time
of year. Four days later they came back and I believe the nations of
the earth heard that the Indians had come to the door. And they voted
to let the Indians in. They wanted to hear what they had to say. But
the United States is one of five nations of the United Nations with a
veto power and still they were concerned because this time the Native
sovereignty was even stronger. And I believe they vetoed the entrance
of the Native people.
  
So then they knew other things would happen on the Earth, and the
United Nations would not bring peace on earth but there would be
continuing and deepening confusion. And that the little wars would get
worse. So they retreated to the Six Nations Reserve and they talked
about this and they said the time is really getting close now 1949.
They said, "We're going to divide the United States into four sections
and each year we're going to have a gathering. We're going to call
these the 'White of Peace Gatherings'." They began to have these
around 1950. And they authorized certain men to speak in English for
the first time about these prophecies.
  
One that I used to listen to many times, over and over, was Thomas
Benyaka. He is a Hopi man. I believe he is still living. He was
authorized to speak in English about what was on the stone tablets and
he has dedicated his lifetime to doing this. And they began to tell us
at these gatherings, they said "In your lifetime you're going to see
things happen" It was strange when they said it in the 1950's and
1960's but now it seems very clear. But then it was unusual. They
said, "You're going to see a time in your life when men are going to
become women. The Great Spirit is going to make a man on the earth. He
made him a man but this man is going to say, "I know more than the
Great Spirit. I'm going to change myself to be a woman:" And they will
even nurse children. The Great Spirit is going to make the woman on
the earth. She's going to say, "I know more than the Great Spirit. I
want to be a man. And she will be physically a man." This sounded
strange. And maybe in a vision they saw Boy-George.
  
They said "You're going to see a time in your lifetime when the human
beings are going to find the blueprint that makes us." They call that
now, DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid. They said, "They re going to cut this
blueprint." They call that now, genetic splicing. And they said,
"They're going to make new animals upon the earth, and they're going
to think these are going to help us. And it's going to seem like they
do help us. But maybe the grandchildren and greatgrandchildren are
going to suffer." I don't know if you heard on the news last night in
the United States now they have genetically spliced a new germ, never
before released in the environment. They want to release this germ
into the cottonfields of the south because they say it will rejuvenate
and strengthen the cotton. They had scientists on the CBS Evening News
the other night talking about it. One scientist said what the elders
said in the 1950's, that this will not harm us. We've put it in a lot
of tests. And the other scientist said what the elders also said, no,
this has never before been in the environment. We have no idea what it
will do. The elders spoke of it long ago. They said it would see
harmless, but it may be able to hurt the greatgrandchildren. The
elders said long ago, "They will release these things, they will use
them." This is going to be released not too long from now. They are
making new animals. The elders talked about this. They said, "You will
see new animals, and even the old animals will come back, animals that
people thought had disappeared. They will find them here and there.
They'll begin to reappear."
  
They said (and I know many of you are from tribes that also have this
prophecy, "You're going to see a time when the eagle will fly its
highest in the night and it will land upon the moon." Some tribes say
the eagle will circle the moon. Some tribes say the eagle will fly
it's highest in the night. "And at that time," they say, "Many of the
Native people will be sleeping," which symbolically means they have
lost their teachings. There are some tribes that say it will be as if
they are frozen: they've been through the long winter. But they say,
"When the eagle flies it's highest in the night, that will be the
first light of a new day. That will be the first thawing of spring."
Of course, at the first light of a new day, if you've stayed up all
night, you notice it's really dark. And the first light, you want to
see it, but you can't. It sneaks up on you. You want to see it change
but it's dark and then pretty soon it's getting light before you know
it. We're at that time now. The Eagle has landed on the moon, 1969.
When that spaceship landed they sent back the message, "The Eagle has
landed." Traditionally, Native people from clear up in the Inuit
region, they have shared with us this prophecy, clear down to the
Quechuas in South America. They shared with us that they have this
prophecy. When they heard those first words, "The Eagle has landed,"
they knew that was the start of a new time and a new power for Native
people. There was absolutely nothing strong before us now. We may do
anything we wish. In 1776 when the United States Government printed
the dollar, in one claw [of the eagle], if you've ever noticed, there
is an olive branch in this claw. They said that represented peace. The
Indian elders shared with me in South Dakota that to them that
represents the enslavement of black people. In the prophecies of the
Six Nations people they say there will be two great uprisings by black
people to free themselves. We've seen one about 1964. There will be a
second, more violent one to come. I'll get back to what that means in
a minute. In the other claw is 13 arrows. The founding fathers of the
United States said that represents the 13 States. But the elders say
that represents the enslavement of the Native people. When the Eagle
landed on the moon, they decided to print a special silver dollar to
commemorate that. I don't know how many of you noticed it. The
original design showed the spaceship landing on the moon but at the
last minute it was changed to an actual eagle. And in the eagle's
claws is the olive branch, but the arrows are gone. The elders said,
"That's our prophecy we have been released." There was one more
uprising coming for the black race of people and then they will be
released and this is also going to have an effect on Native people, a
good effect. There's a whole new set of prophecies from the Iriquois
people about that and I won't have time to go into tht this morning.
  
But we're in that time now. We're between the first light of a new day
and the sunrise. The sunrise is about to come and when it comes up
everyone is going to see it. But you know how it is in the village
there's a few people that get up early, and there are some that sleep
until noon. I'm probably one of those that sleeps until noon.
  
They said when that Eagle lands on the moon, the powers will begin to
come back to us. As an alcoholic person, I feel that one of our
greatest diseases is alcoholism. Within seven days of the time of the
Eagle landing on the moon, the first Native alcoholism program was
started on an Apache reservation in Arizona. Within seven days of the
time the Eagle landed on the moon, the Freedom of Indian Religion Act
was introduced into the United States Congress. Eventually it was
passed in November of 1978, signed by President Carter, making the
song that Kevin [Kevin Locke, a famous Indian Baha'i who spends his
time travelling around the world sharing the North American Indian
culture through dance and music] sang legal to sing in every state of
the United States. It was punishable at one time to go to jail for 10
years and/or a $10,000 fine for singing a song or doing a suat. This
was changed in 1978 the legislation was introduced in 1969, less than
seven days after the Eagle landed on the moon. These are the physical
manifestations of the spiritual prophecies that we have.
  
So he said at this time you're going to see that things will speed up,
that people on the earth will move faster and faster. Grandchildren
will not have time for grandparents. Parents will not have time for
children. It will seem like time is going faster and faster. The
elders advised us that as things speed up, you yourself should slow
down. The faster things go, the slower you go. Because there's going
to come a time when the earth is going to be shaken a third time. The
Great Spirit has been shaking the earth two times: the First and
Second World Wars to remind us that we are a human family, to remind
us that we should have greeted each other as brothers and sisters. We
had a chance after each shaking to come together in a circle that
would have brought peace on earth, but we missed that.
  
Tonight they were talking on the news about the sign for the Third
Shaking of the Earth. I heard it while sitting in the airport after I
missed my plane. They said they're going to build what the elders
called the "house in the sky". In the 1950's they talked about this:
they will build a house and throw it in the sky. When you see people
living in the sky on a permanent basis, you will know the Great Spirit
is about to grab the earth, this time not with one hand, but with both
hands. Many of you of Native background may have heard "the spirits
will warn you twice, but the third time you stand alone." We've had
two warnings, the first two World Wars, but now we stand alone in the
third one. As it says in the Baha'i Writings, there will be no-one
protected. When this house is in the sky, the Great Spirit is going to
shake the Earth a third time and whoever dropped that gourd of ashes,
upon them it is going to drop.
  
They say at that time there will be villages in this land so great
that when you stand in the villages you will not be able to see out,
and in the prophecies these are called "villages of stone", or
"prairies of stone". And they said the stone will grow up from the
ground and you will not be able to see beyond the village. At the
center of each and every one of these villages will be Native people,
and they will walk as "hollow" shells upon a "prairie of stone". They
said "hollow shells" which means they will have lost any of their
traditional understandings; they will be empty within. They said after
the Eagle lands on the moon some of these people will begin to leave
these "prairies of stone" and come home and take up some of the old
ways and begin to make themselves reborn, because it's a new day. But
many will not. And they said there's going to come a time when in the
morning the sun is going to rise and this village of stone will be
there, and in the evening there would just be steam coming from the
ground. They will be as steam. And in the center of many of those
villages of stone when they turn to steam, the Native people will turn
to steam also because they never woke up and left the village. And
this used to bother me when I was a young man. I used to ask the
elders, "Isn't there anything we can do?" And they said, well, it's
just that way that if a person does not have the spiritual eyes to
see, it's very hard to show them. Or if they don't have the ears to
hear, it's very hard to speak with them. We wish that we could go get
them all but we can't. It's just that some are not going to wake up.
But some will wake up .
  
And so they say there's going to be the Third Shaking of the Earth.
It's not going to be a good thing to see but we will survive it. We
will survive it.
  
And when we survive it, then there's going to be another attempt to
make a circle of the human beings on the earth. And this time the
Native people will not have to petition to join but will be invited to
enter the circle because they say the attitude towards us will have
changed by then, and people will let us into the circle and all the
four colors of the four directions will share their wisdom, and there
will be a peace on earth. This is coming close. A lot of times when I
share this message of the prophecies, people say, "Can't we change it?
Could we stop it?" The answer is yes. The prophecies are always
"either/or". We could have come together way back there in 1565, and
we could have had a great civilization, but we didn't. Always along
the path of these prophecies, we could have come together. We still
could. If we could stop the racial and religious disharmony, we would
not have to go through this third shaking. The elders say the chance
of that is pretty slim. It seems to me like it's pretty slim, too. But
they say what we can do is we can "cushion" it. The word we use is
"cushion". We can cushion it so it won't be quite as bad. How do we do
this? We do this by sharing the teaching that will reunite us. The
Hopis in their prophecies say there will be a religion that comes
here. Maybe it will be true and bring unity, or maybe it will not be
true and not bring unity. If it does not bring unity, a second
religion will come, and the people of this religion are known in the
Hopi language as the Bahani, the people of Baha. Ni means "people of".
So I was looking for the people of Baha. I wondered who the people of
Baha were. I was a Baha'i for quite a while before somebody told me
that baha'i means "people of Bah". I thought, "0 my God!" Here I was
looking for it all these years and I never even noticed it! And I
found it! I was stubborn and didn't want to become a "Baha'i but my
grandfather who passed away, you know he must have found out about it
in the next realm because he came back to me four times to tell me,
"Hey, look at that again, look at that again. Look one more time."
Bah, it means "light or glory". Baha'i means "follower of the light",
or the "people of Bah". We've been waiting for these people for a
long time. They say they will bring a Teaching that will unite the
earth. So we need to share this Teaching. They say the fire will come
from the North. So here we are, in a circle, in the North, talking
about the Bahnis, the "people of Bah", and the teachings of
Baha'u'llah.
  
When I heard about these [prophecies], none of them made any sense.
Now most of it has come to pass. Last I heard on the news, they said
the "house in the sky" will be put up in 1996. It was going to be put
up sooner, but it's been postponed for four years. Maybe it will be
postponed again. But in not too long it's going to go up. The earth as
we know it is going to change.
  
Each of us carry, I believe, a sacred drop of light. In the Indian
teachings, they say it takes nine ancestors to agree before conception
can occur. Nine ancestors of the husband and the wife have to come
together in the spiritual realm and say; "We will bring life," before
a woman can become pregnant. At that time the soul is born.
  
I delivered my first daughter and a man from the Blood Reserve who
went to South Dakota and was the first Bloodin 82 years he came to my
house by coincidence four days before my wife went into labor. Each
night we had a ceremony, and on the morning after the fourth ceremony
my wife went into labor at sunrise. And that night, at sunset, my
daughter was born. And I took her out, and I cut the cord, and I
noticed at the sundance that what people do in South Dakota, they pass
the pipe three times, and they don't take it until the fourth time.
And even in Washington I've heard the coming of a child is like the
coming of a new pipe. When I was delivering my daughter I happened to
notice that the skull came out three times, and on the fourth time,
her head came out like the coming of a pipe. First I put her on the
mother instantly and after a few minutes I cleaned her up and I washed
her up. There was a circle of people just about like this around my
wife and there were people of different backgrounds and we looked up
and through the ceiling came a small drop of blue light. When it got
close to the child you could not see it. That was her soul, she will
carry that light throughout earth. In that is her special uniqueness
as a being, a spiritual power. In that are gifts.
  
After we go through and then we carry it back here and it radiates to
she mind but for some reason in this cycle we've been in the lower
natures, the animal thought. But now we're going into the human world.
The mind is going to be opened up to the radiance of our own soul and
the cycle of the human beings is going to come back, and something so
good is going to happen on the earth that it cannot even be described.
The elders say it in different ways. They say, there will be grass at
that time when they make that circle and bring the peace on earth.
There will be blades of grass that have not quite come through the
earth. Even they will try to push themselves up to be part of that day
when the sun rises. The elders explain it like this: out here, outside
this building, long before there was a fair ground here there were
Native people. They say many of these Native people in different
tribes were aware of these things, and they told the children. Their
children grew up.
  
You know, one time the scientist came to the Hopis and they said, "We
want to take a piece of the stone tablets." They said "We want to take
the stone tablets to a scientific laboratory to determine how old they
are." The Hopis said, "We know how old they are". Well, the scientists
said, "We want to confirm it." Well, the Hopis let them take a little
piece, and they did that by the carbon dating method. They found these
tablets were at least 10,000 years old, maybe 50,000. So when I say,
"Thousands of years ago, there were Native people that spoke of these
things," that's exactly what I mean. They told their children and
thousands of years ago, their children grew up and told their
children, and then their children grew up and told their children. And
they spoke about the people that will live in this time.
  
And now it is us. We are the ones they spoke of long ago. They say to
be alive, to come into creation and to live upon the earth at this
time is a great honor. In the cycle of time, from the beginning to the
end, this time we are in now will change the purification of all
things. They say this is the hardest time to live, but it is also the
greatest honor to be alive to live and see this.
  
In the state of Washington in 1855 they signed treaties and made 22
Indian reservations. They wanted to do it before there were problems.
They thought they were advanced at the time, they had learned from
what had happened elsewhere. They made 22 Indian reservations and the
elders spoke in 1855 and they said, "We're going to become weaker, and
you are going to become stronger, and if you wish to break these
treacies, you may do so." They said, "But there's going to come a time
when the earth itself will rise up and purify itself and this will be
announced. It will be announced by the speaking of more than 16 Great
Ones on the West Coast of this land. And when the 16 Great Ones speak,
the purification will have begun. There was a new [?] five years ago
when Mt. Saint Helens, one of the 16 great volcanoes on the West Coast
of this land, "spoke". The Seattle Times did a special interest story.
They went over to Watson Totus and Woodrow Bill. It was Woodrow Bill's
son that made this hoop that I brought here today, my good brother
Randolf Bill. They asked Watson Totus and Woodrow Bill as spiritual
people of the Yakuma nation, "What does this mean?" What they said was
so profound that they didn't put it on page 16, they put it on the
front page of the Seattle Times. They said, "This means that the races
and nations of the earth should slow down and come together and talk
to each other." That's exactly what it meant. And we had four years
and four days to do that.
  
Four years and four days later, Mt. Saint Helens erupted the second
time. That was last spring, just about this time. That was our grace
period. We could have still done something really good. But now things
are going to speed up. Now things are going to really happen fast.
Time is going to go so fast. The more we share the Message, the more
we will cushion the Third Shaking of the Earth, and the easier it will
be on ourselves and others.
  
A good friend of mine in Montana whose grandmother just passed away
last year, the last thing she said to him was "Make a place for
yourself in the mountains because the air will become so hot down
here," where they were at on a reservation, that it would be hard to
breath. And it won't be long, That's the last thing she told her
grandson when she was passing. Go on the mountains and make a place
for yourself. Put some things there that you can survive with. People
are going to run to the mountains to survive and the Native people
must be ready for this.
