“It is prophesied in our instructions that the
end of the world will be near when the trees start dying from the top down.
That is what the maples are doing now. Our instructions say the time will come
when there will be no corn,
when nothing
will grow in the garden, when water will be unfit to drink.
In our ways, spiritual consciousness is
the highest form of politics. We must live in harmony with the natural world
and recognize the excessive exploitation can only lead to our destruction. We
cannot trade the welfare of our future generations for profit now…
We are
instructed to carry love for one another, and to show great respect for all
beings of the earth. We must stand together, the four colors of man,
as the one
family we are. In the interest of peace.
We must abolish
nuclear and conventional weapons of war.
We must
raise leaders of peace.
We must
unite the religions of the world as a spiritual force
strong enough
to prevail in peace.
We (Human
Beings) are a positive energy that is a thousand times
stronger than nuclear energy.
Our energy
is the combined will of all people with the spirit of the natural world, to be
of one body, one heart, and one mind for peace”
- The late Leon Shenandoah, Onondaga
“We are now living in the fourth and
final world of the Hopi. We are now at a most critical time in Human history.
It is a crossroads at which the outcome of our actions will decide the fate of
all life on earth”
- Martin Gashweseoma, Hopi
