Warriors of the Rainbow
There would come a time when the earth would be ravaged of it's resources,
the sea blackened, the streams poisoned, the deer dropping dead in their
tracks. Just before it was too late, the Indian would regain his spirit and
teach the white man reverence for the earth, banding together with him to
become Warriors of the Rainbow.
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 comers
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 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".
This is the story of the "Warriors of the Rainbow" and this is my reason
for protecting the culture, heritage, and knowledge of my ancestors. I know
that the day "Eyes of Fire" spoke of - will come! I want my children and
grandchildren to be prepared to accept this task.The task of being one of
the........"Warriors of the Rainbow".
- 200-year-old prophecy by an old Cree woman named Eyes of Fire
