>From those attending the meetings with Hopi Spiritual Leaders
-April 22-24, 1994
IT IS NOW TIME FOR ALL OF US TO COME FORWARD WITH OUR SUPPORT
We are now entering the last days. The Hopi Spiritual Caretakers
have spoken their urgent warnings and message to the United
Nations and around the world., yet there has been no response. The
sacred lands of the Hopi are being desecrated by water and power
lines. The bulldozers are on the land. Soon the Hopi will be
unable to conduct their ceremonies. Listen to their words. Then
respond. The leaders say it is our turn to act.
"The Government of the United States only recognize the
illegally elected tribal council. These are not our leaders; this
is not our way. We must be left alone and allowed to follow our
original instructions without the interference of western ways. We
must protect these sacred lands, these sacred ways. If these
instructions are not followed, the Purification will begin. Already
the signs of the days of Purification are beginning.
"For the sake of the Mother Earth and her children, for the
sake of all your children and your children's children action is
needed now.
"Hopi's Ancient Knowledge and Prophesies are warning, through
many signs that we have entered a dangerous period in our lives.
Mankind must return to Peaceful ways, and halt Destruction of
Mother Earth, or we are going to destroy ourselves. All the Stags
of Hopi prophesy have come to pass, except for the last, the
purification. The intensity of this purification will depend on
how humanity collaborates with Creation.
"We must Correct and Change our ways, and take care of Mother
Earth. If we do not, we are going to face terrible destruction by
Nature, wars will come like powerful winds, bringing Purification
and Destruction. The more we turn away from the instructions of
the Great Spirit, the more signs we see in the form of
earthquakes, floods, droughts, fires, tornados; along with wars
and corruption.
"If we do not Correct and Change these things, we are all gong
to suffer; there is no way we will be able to help each other
after this. The World problems, and the Destruction of Mother
Earth will be so terrible, there will be nothing left on this
Earth.
"We do not want to see this happen.
"We hope that by bringing these warnings to the attention of
the people of this Land, and around the World, that we will
understand the Seriousness of this moment, that we will be able to
help one another, and to help bring about a better way of life."
Hopi Traditional Caretakers including: Dan Evehema, Martin
Gashweseoma, Manual Hoyungowa, Emery Holmes, Sr., assisted by
spokesman Thomas Banyacya.

JOIN US IN ACTION TO SUPPORT THE SPIRITUAL CARETAKERS OF THE
HOPI NATION
As Brothers and Sisters from the Four Directions, we share the
Concern for the Healing of Mother Earth, and of all her people.
Visions, Prophesies, Warnings, Teachings of the Traditional
Leaders from the Four Directions point to the same message, spoken
in beautiful variations.
They all speak of the Knowledge of these times; of the urgent
need for each of us, as individuals, to search our hearts, to
recognize and act upon our serious responsibility to protect Mother
Earth. We need to heal, to awaken to the danger of these times. We
need to take action and sacrifice to protect our grandchildren and
all living beings.
The Elders have had final signs from Mother Nature and from the
Great Spirit, declaring this time to be our last and final chance
to help one another, heal and work together. It is urgent that we
respond in every way we can.
Please search your hearts, your talents and your resources to
find what you can do.
Find ways you can contribute to this urgent call.
Organizational actions, liaison work, media awareness and
communication strategies are critically neede. Network this
communication to your network.
Write to your leaders, your legislators, congressmen, and
senators now. Write to your president, the Department of the
Interior, Secretary Bruce Babbit, Attorney General Janet Reno, the
Department of Justice. Tell them that you demand an immediate
cessation of the disruption of Hopi sacred land and ancient
spiritual practices.
Write to your Ambassadors and Human Rights Representatives to the
United Nations. Tell them that you support the preservation of
Hopi Hopi traditional practices, lands and ceremonies, and that
you hold them accountable for following up on this action.
It is time also to contact your press and media contacts and tell
them that this is the last opportunity to get this message out.
If the sacred lands are allowed to be disrupted, there will be
no more chance to put things right. The bulldozers are on the Land
now; the workmen are ready to act.
In the name of the Creator, in the name of freedom of religion,
in the name of our love for the Earth and for all our children, we
must act now. Tomorrow is too late.
The United States government must know that the World is
watching , that we care about the spiritual practices of the Hopi
Traditional Leaders.
