Warriors of the Rainbow

"When the Earth is sick, the animals will begin to
disappear, when that happens,
The Warriors of the Rainbow will come to save them."
~Chief Seattle ~

There was an old lady, from the Cree tribe, named
Eyes of Fire, who prophesied that one day, because
of the white mans’ or Yo-ne-gis’ greed, there would
come a time, when the fish would die in the
streams, the birds would fall from the air, the
waters would be blackened, 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.

They would be mankinds’ 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 right 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
people 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 solitudes 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".
