I have always found it amazing that the Indians of north America were once portrayed as "savages" when it was actually the white man that was the ruthless savage, murdering innocent people and raping the land. North American tribes knew that the earth must be respected instead of plundered.

The "Great Mystery" was found closely by a few, long ago. then, the white men learned of Him. As many whites learned his ways, they became blessed, but they often turned away. God, the "Great Mystery", perhaps allowed white men to come here because many of the peoples did bad things & warred on each other, and so some also came to teach the closer ways of God, who in old times, did amazing things for the Hebrews & others. If the red man walks in truth in the ways of God, God will bless them.

Have you not heard, that it is always darkest before the dawn ? The Indian spirit has not died, it has merely gone underground for awhile. Now is the ~ Time, as prophecised by the Hopi, that the Earth and all those who love and respect her, will ~ Rise. White man's rule has had its day. The ancestors have, already, returned and they call to hearts such as yours........ ( see my vid - " Native Pride, What ya want " )

And it came to pass that the white eyes weren't satisfied with murdering the native Americans, the hate that lives in their hearts caused them to war among themselves.

As the hate intensified the whites killed more and more of themselves untill their cities lay in ruin, A great wind blew the ashes of the white man out across the ocean to europe from where they came.

The earth then began to heal herself and the red man was again able to live in peace.

our Indian nation is dying the Indian in everyone is dying also we talk English instead of our language now. some can only speak in fluently the people long ago would have been ashamed and sadden if they ever came back and seen what they have fought and died has come to ruins. we are living the white mans way!

[Wrayn2002]

Consider the book by G.C. Bevington about faith, prayer & miracles. He prayed & preached in the early 1900s, and amazing things happened, while he was willing to live like the first christians -- those who believed God long before the teaching reached the white man.
