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".
