Spiritual Leader Dan Evehema's Message to Mankind
|
||
| I am very glad to have this
time to send a message to you. We are celebrating a time in our history
which is both filled with joy and sadness.
I am very glad that our Hindu brothers have given us this opportunity
to share these feelings with you because we know many of you are having
the same troubles. We Hopi made an oath that we will never turn away from Him. For us the Creators laws never change or break down. To the Hopi the Great Spirit is all powerful. He appeared to the first people as a man and talked with them in the beginning of this creation world. He taught us how to live, to worship, where to go and what food to carry, gave us seeds to plant and harvest. He gave us a set of sacred stone tablets into which He breathed all teachings in order to safeguard his land and life. In these stone tablets were made, instructions and prophecies and warnings. This was done with the help of a Spider woman and Her two grandsons. They were wise and powerful helpers of the Great Spirit. Before the Great Spirit went into hiding, He and Spider woman put
before the leaders of the different groups of people many colours
and sized of corn for them to choose their food in this world. The
Hopi was the last to pick and then choose their food in this world.
The Hopi then choose the smallest ear of corn. Then Massau’u said,
"You have shown me you are wise and humble for this reason you
will be called Hopi (people of peace) and I will place in your authority
all land and life to guard, protect and hold trust for Me until I
return to you in later days for I am the First and the Last." It was to the Spider woman's two grandsons the sacred stone tablets were given. These two brothers were then instructed to carry them to a place the Great Spirit had instructed them. The older brother was to go immediately to the East, to the rising sun and upon reaching his destination was instructed to immediately start to look for his younger brother who shall remain in the land of the Great Spirit. The Older brothers mission when he returned was to help his younger brother (Hopi) bring about peace, brotherhood and everlasting life on his return. Hopi, the younger brother, was instructed to cover all land and mark it well with footprints and sacred markings to claim this land for the Creator and peace on earth. We established our ceremonials and sacred shrines to hold this world in balance in accordance with our first promise to the Creator. This is how our migration story goes, until we meet the Creator at Old Oraibi (place that solidifies) over 1000 years ago. It was at that meeting when he gave to us these prophecies to give to you now at this closing of the Fourth World of destruction and the beginning of the Fifth World of peace. He gave us many prophecies to pass on to you and all have come to pass. This is how we know the timing is now to reveal the last warnings and instructions to mankind. We were told to settle permanently here in Hopi land where we met the Great Spirit and wait for Older Brother who went east to return to us. When he returns to this land he will place his stone tablets side by side to show all the world that they are our true brothers. When the road in the sky has been fulfilled and when the inventing of something, in Hopi means, gourd of ashes, a gourd that when drops upon the earth will boil everything within a large space and nothing will grow for a very long time. When the leaders turned to evil ways instead of the Great Spirit we were told there would be many ways this life may be destroyed. If human kind does not heed our prophecy and return to ones original spiritual instructions. We were told of three helpers who were commissioned by the Great Spirit to help Hopi bring about the peaceful life on earth would appear to help us and we should not change our homes, our ceremonials, our hair, because the true helpers might not recognise us as the true Hopi. So we have been waiting all these years. It is known that our True White Brother, when he comes, will be all powerful and will wear a red cap or red cloak. He will be large in population, belong to no religion but his very own. He will bring with him the sacred stone tablets. With him there will be two great ones both very wise and powerful. One will have a symbol or sign of swastika which represents purity
and is Female, a producer of life. The third one or the second one
of the two helpers to our True White Brother will have a sign of a
symbol of the sun. He, too, will be many people and very wise and
powerful. We have in our sacred Kachina ceremonies a gourd rattle
which is still in use today with these symbols of these powerful helpers
of our True Brother. We are now faced with great problems, not only here but throughout
the land. Now we are at the very end of our trail. Many people no longer recognise the true path of the Great Spirit. They have, in fact, no respect for the Great Spirit or for our precious Mother Earth, who gives us all life. We are instructed in our ancient prophecy that this would occur. We were told that someone would try to go up to the moon: that they would bring something back from the moon; and that after that, nature would show signs of losing its balance. Now we see that coming about. All over the world there are now many signs that nature is no longer in balance. Floods, drought, earthquakes, and great storms are occurring and causing much suffering. We do not want this to occur in our country and we pray to the Great Spirit to save us from such things. But there are now signs that this very same thing might happen very soon on our own land. Now we must look upon each other as brothers and sisters. There is
no more time for divisions between people. Today I call upon all of
us, from right here at home, Hotevilla, where we to are guilty of
gossiping and causing divisions even among our own families; out to
the entire world where thievery, war and lying goes on every day.
These divisions will not be our salvation. Wars only bring more wars
never peace. There are many of you in this world who are honest people. We know
you spiritually for we are the "Men's Society Grandfathers"
who have been charged to pray for you and all life on earth never
forgetting anything or any one in our ceremonials. Our prayer is to
have a good happy life, plenty of soft gentle rain for abundant crops.
We pray for balance on earth to live in peace and leave a beautiful
world to the children yet to come. We know you have good hearts but
good hearts are not enough to help us out with these great problems.
In the past some of you have tried to help us Hopis, and we will always
be thankful for you efforts. But now we need your help in the worst
way. We want the people of the world to know the truth of our situation. Where is the freedom which you all fight for and sacrifice your children for? Is it only the Indian people who have lost or are all Americans losing the very thing which you original came here to find? We don't share the freedom of the press because what gets into the papers is what the government wants people to believe, not what is really happening. We have no freedom of speech, because we are persecuted by our own people for speaking our beliefs. We are at the final stages now and there is a last force that is about to take away our remaining homeland. We are still being denied many things including the rite to be Hopis and to make our living in accordance with our religious teachings. The Hopi leaders have warned leaders in the White House and the leaders in the Glass House but they do not listen. So as our prophecy says then it must be up to the people with good pure hearts that will not be afraid to help us to fulfil our destiny in peace for this world. We now stand at a cross road whether to lead ourselves in everlasting life or total destruction. We believe that human beings spiritual power through prayer is so strong it decides life on earth. So many people have come to Hopiland to meet with us. Some of you we have met on your lands. Many times people have asked how they can help us. Now I hope and pray that your help will come. If you have a way to spread the truth, through the newspapers, radio, books, thought meeting with powerful people, tell the truth! Tell them what you know to be true. Tell them what you have seen here; what you have heard us say; what you have seen with your own eyes. In this way, if we do fall, let it be said that we tried, right up to the end, to hold fast to the path of peace as we were originally instructed to do by the Great Spirit. Should you really succeed, we will all realise our mistakes of the past and return to the true path - - living in harmony as brothers and sisters, sharing our mother, the earth with all other living creatures. In this way we could bring about a new world. A world which would be led by the great Spirit and our mother will provide plenty and happiness for all. God bless you, each one of you and know our prayers for peace meet yours as the sun rises and sets. May the Great Spirit guide you safely into the path of love, peace, freedom and God on this Earth Mother. May the holy ancestors of love and light
keep you safe in your land and homes. Chief Dan Evehema, (105) Spiritual leader,
