The Indian people must find their place, not in an ancient culture, but in a modern world. They have the right that they be given religious and cultural freedom so that, like other groups in our very mixed population, they may continue to follow their beliefs and ceremonies that mean so much to them. They have a right to ask to be allowed to move into the new economic order without too great a cultural loss and without any racial discrimination against them.

We have sometimes thought of America as the great melting pot of races, the social cauldron, where colonists and immigrants from many nations are fused into a single and united people. This mixture of blood and cultures is the most interesting aspect of American life and gives the new nation its bubbling vitality instead of trying to reduce all groups to the same pattern. We are now beginning to see the value of encouraging, within a strong nation, many different races and customs. Rather than a melting pot, America might be thought of as a great pageant of people.

In such a pageant, the Indian in the future, as he has in the past, may play a brilliant and colourful role. The Sacred Pipe teachings tell us, in times gone by, that seven Major Prophets came to the Red Nation. Each prophet left his or her people a prediction about what the future would bring. Each of these prophecies was called a Fire. Each of these Fires referred to a particular period or era of time. Thus the teachings of the seven prophets were called the Seven Fires.

The FIRST FIRE tells us that the Red Nation would rise and follow the Sacred Pipe. The religion would serve as a rallying point for all Red People and the traditional way of the Sacred Pipe religion would be the source of much strength.

The SECOND FIRE tells that the Red Nation would be camped by many rivers. At this time the direction of the sacred ways would be lost. A religion would be born to point the way back to the traditional ways, showing the direction to the sacred mountain where much rebirth of the religious beliefs occurred.

The THIRD FIRE tells that the Red Nation would find the path to their chosen ground, a land in the west to which they must move their families.

The FOURTH FIRE tells of the coming of the light-skinned races.

The FIFTH FIRE relates to us a great struggle that was to come.

The SIXTH FIRE tells us that during this time, grandsons and granddaughters would turn against their elders; the spiritual ways would almost disappear.

The SEVENTH FIRE tells us of an emergence of a new Red Nation. A Red Nation that would retrace their steps to find what they left by the trail.

The drum would once again sound its voice. There would be a rebirth of the Red Nation and rekindling of old flames. At this time the light-skinned race would be given a choice. If they choose the right road, then the seventh fire would light the eighth fire : an Eternal Flame of Peace, Love and Brotherhood. If the light-skinned race would make the wrong choice of roads, then the destruction which they brought with them on coming to this Red Nation would come back to them and cause them much suffering and death.

Heed this!!!... The above is substantiated with George Washington's Vision. If the USA doesn't volunteer to abolish the Illusory borders it will be FORCED to do so. Only after Humanity can be Free to make the Heart to Heart Connection, can the USA fulfil its Destiny and become the Leading Nation of Peace. The contrary is true today.
