Prophecy
"Warriors
of the Rainbow"
There
was an old lady, from the "Cree" tribe,
named
"Eyes of Fire",
who
prophesied that one day, because of the white mans'
or Yo-ne-gis'
greed, there would come a time, when the
fish
would die in the streams, the birds would fall from
the air, the waters would be blackened, 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.
They
would be mankinds’ 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 right 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 comers
of the
Earth.
Like
the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the people
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 solitudes 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".
This
is the story of the "Warriors of the Rainbow" and this is
my reason
for protecting the culture, heritage, and knowledge
of my
ancestors.
I know
that the day "Eyes of Fire" spoke of - will come!
I want
my children and grandchildren
to be
prepared to accept this task.
The
task of being one of the
"Warriors
of the Rainbow".

Thank
you Lelanie for your wonderful comments!!
There
will come a time when the Earth grows sick and
when
it does a tribe will gather from all the cultures
of the
World who believe in deed and not words.
They
will work to heal it.
They
will be known as the "Warriors of the Rainbow."
~An Ancient
Cree Indian Proverb~
May
the warm winds of heaven blow softly on your home,
And
the Great Spirit, bless all who enter there.
May
your moccasins make happy tracks
In many
snows, and may the rainbow
Always
touch your shoulder.
~A Cherokee
Blessing~
