Refreshing to hear an elder from the east speak. I am from Saskatchewan, I have read up on the Six Nations Confederacy and am glad to know that others are still paying attention to First Nations Peoples.

Ya know? With all due respect to all trashing this man. He is still, one of the most elloquent messengers/speakers of our time. So, the dirty landry you hang out is from your line and should be left at home. That War is for home. No need to get everyone all involved in the politics. He's not talking about that. He coninues to spread words that heal. And that's all that matters in the public eye,not your destuctive words,that gives nothing but a view into how stupid we look as a people.

no-chief is not lifelong position- if he doesnt carry out the elder womens advice- they "knock the horns off the chief" as they said-these clan grandmothers can reelect as they see fit- & their is no birth rights to chief position-they have to be nominated in by the grandmothers clans

[lmollot]

the power was the communal based womens longhouses clans- the teachers were the grandmothers by example-skills of self sufficiency- until natives return to this matriarchy clans-& let go of the isolated couple-based society-& one world of natives no borders= no wars

i agree with slidebargirl, all hating on this prophet! even if he has made a couple mistakes, he aint know way as bad as some i could name! destroying all life he's on about earth is not ours to pulute with shit...

hopi prophecies is very true, it's even in the bible code they ain't long left because we have forgot how love one another and lifes just run of greed.. this is just the beginning of spiritual warfare, people should start tappin in to there intuition!

the end is near......
