Warriors of the Rainbow
Last century an old wise woman of the Cree Indian nation, named "Eyes of Fire", had a
vision of the future.� She prophesied that one day, because of the white mans' or Yo-ne-
gis' greed, there would come a time, when the earth being� ravaged and polluted, the
forests being destroyed, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened,
the fish being poisoned in the streams, 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, making the earth green again. They would be mankind's
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� light 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
corners of the Earth.
Like the Ancient Tribes, they would teach the peoples 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 solitude 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".
