Hopi Legend of the 9th Sign
This was something sitting in my hard drive from some years back, possibly around the time of the white calf being born, which gave the Native Americans so much hope and did in a way, to me anyway, begin to herald in the changes to more and more becoming aware and interested in formulating changes to the whole of society. What do you think?
The Ninth and Last Sign About to Come True?
By White Feather, Bear Clan, Hopi Tribe
"The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth World will begin. This
the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years have been
fulfilled, and so few are left.
"This is the First Sign: We were told of the coming of the white-skinned
men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana -- men who took the land
that was not theirs and who struck their enemies with thunder. (Guns)
"This is the Second Sign: Our lands will see the coming of spinning
wheels filled with voices. (Covered wagons)
"This is the Third Sign: A strange beast like a buffalo but with great
long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. (Longhorn cattle)
"This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron.
(Railroad tracks)
"This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant
spider's web. (Power and telephone lines)
"This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of
stone that make pictures in the sun. (Concrete roads and their
mirage-producing effects.)
"This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and
many living things dying because of it. (Oil spills)
"This is the Eighth Sign: You will see many youth, who wear their hair
long like our people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn our
ways and wisdom. (Hippies)

"And this is the Ninth and Last Sign:You will hear of a dwelling-place
in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a great crash. It
will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the ceremonies of the
Hopi people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great destruction is here: The world shall
rock to and fro. The white man will battle people in other lands -- those
who possessed the first light of wisdom. There will be many columns
of smoke and fire such as the white man has made in the deserts not
far from here. Those who stay and live in the places of the Hopi shall
be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon, very soon
afterward, Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the
Fifth World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in our hearts. Even
now the seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the
Emergence into the Fifth World."
