here this is a good life all the way to here if you follow my footsteps you will live a long life harvest a charge on the papaya picker get bingham pair hope it Peter before the white man came they already knew that someday somebody will come around find a white man deck in Bangkok on Appa take over their land would not be and claim it white men split them here this is the road of the white man through here all the way to here the elders say this is a rocky road here they don't know where this leads to they said this this only leads to the destruction of this world then there some people are still following the footstep of the Great Spirit through here Tom turbit of Santa Fe New Mexico is a longtime student of the Hopi he is director of the planting stick project and acts as liaison between two very different cultures at first they were united all across the entire array of villages in one web just because they'd all been following the same cosmic song that put them in their places so the United States couldn't break that unity at first but eventually they started breaking down until arrivee itself split Roy Stevens who is from Indonesia describes himself as a bio cosmologists he is part of the Society of Hopi and planetary friends their mission is to help the world understand the wisdom of the Hopi the Hopi of course they were also forewarned about the intrusions by modern civilization of modern man and so day when it when it came right away that's all you know what the dangers come from came from there was education because they want us to live like a white people this is what broke everything the religious what we believe in and everything 1880 they built a boarding school up there in Kings Canyon 1887 around the turn of the century assimilation of native peoples into the mainstream of American society was the official policy of the United States government the two leaders over here in all Arabia they fell for it they got weak and say it was okay for the kids to go to school but you Killman some of other religious leaders were against it and the prophets who realized that the new system they were the offered was not in accord with mama saw had taught them about survival was in fact leading to doom were brutally evicted by the faction that naively took the modern world to be a safe bet one morning they just lost sat down to eat and they arrived those people from teams and some from the palaka and from the ol or IB generally speaking it's the law that every one every American child goes to school and in certain respects in certain parts of our history this was a valuable thing to prevent child abuse and they took all the people out from their houses they dragged them took all the men they tear their shirt off pull their shirt off tear them up so they knew all over to begin that education was not such a good thing because the Hopi their education was definitely superior but the fact that it didn't have hospitals at the time because people are really healthy that was strong people men used to run 40 miles in one day straight to refuse and back there were champions they didn't have jails they didn't have prisons they didn't need to rely on all kind of administrative buildings and surfaces and so they were self-reliant that's what the power is the status not only the power of the Hopi that should be also the power of every individual third in my round push them around pulling their hair things like even the ladies some of them took out their weapons and other other things and that's when they start to fight back and one of the from from tupa I don't know his English but his name is pious till he came around with his white horse and he got mad he said what are you people doing why are you fighting for what are you fighting for they can do anything just because they don't want to live like a white people I want this stuff so he went around and with all those people which is how you call that we twit so that's how he clear this off okay all right come on you go you better go come on take a step that's what they were saying to my grandpa okay the leaders from all the ripe is to align that that land belongs to all awry be and then whoever wants to follow you kill men and the leaders they step over the line when you kill my step over the line he went like this meaning this whole world belongs to the Creator not to the newcomer then they started from there and moved over to hodella about four miles more or less northeast and in effect took the or I be spiritual union into exile the ragged band of exiles reached the other side of third Mesa where Holtville and now stands they had not been permitted to take their belongings with them so he stood there good for some of these corn you and you went around like a circle around and you went inside up and he said this is where I'm gonna stay this is where I'm gonna stay with my daughter my only daughter so that's where they settle they clear off a little places around where they could stay for a while and they build a fire they said around it spacious like that this word they gather all the men together and then they marched them up to Kings Canyon it's about 35 miles from from from here where the agency is then they put them in prison they ask them to sign some kind of some kind of paper but they refuse to sign it and they told them if they sign the paper they would give them food but they still refuse to sign the papers and then after that they took them to the blacksmith and they chained them together in pairs that's where they forced them to build the road over in Kings Canyon then when like nighttime comes around they would change it you know hook them up six six people together if some one person wants to use the art house all six have to go with them their angles start getting Solars honor blood donor still they're going like that I cut all my tears for him all that years since I was a kid then the woman he was really hard for them to to survive over there during winter winter winter days and they survived by hunting and picking greens and so forth again they went in the day that there wanted to take us over there our fathers they hold us we're sitting in front of them and they hold us they don't want us to go but they fight with us they took their hands away from her like this come on come on you have to go they have to go they dragged us over there I went my father was older my Uncle Dan was right here the literally kidnapped the children took them literally torn him apart away from the mother's parents arms and put him in in camps you know we call this boarding schools but actually they were concentration cans for years I remember right that was David Lester my sister viola that one of my oldest in Helen zelma Floyd and that forced them to adopt to get tuned into a different mode see of life through education they were forced you know to to eat the weapons way to dress the Whiteman's way to think the rightness way they were severely beaten and and punished you know when they just mentioned one Hopi word they used to have long dresses long sweet like this kind of sweater they used to have in that club and they have a little red cap on you know like a little red riding hood's in might just as well say and they took already my grandpa down there before they take that to us as for Papa - pretty simple yeah California off Tommy over here some of them came back and then on top of it they took them back again and took them to Alcatraz now if you wanted to see the Hopi culture now you'd have to imagine a pot that would sit on the highway and run over by a truck these two lines right here these are two Hardy people that are destroying the land they're gonna I mean they're they're going to destroy this world so this this one line here there's a man right here that someday this this man will wake up this is the one line means that he's a one hearted now the Hopi are one of the last living examples who have a culture that installs wisdom in power that gives the leadership capability or commission from the people to the person with the greatest wisdom to carry it out but if this guy wakes up in time then he would try to bring them back to this creators way so that the world will be safe but if we don't do anything then the world will be destroyed the Hopi nation has never been conquered by an army they have never signed a treaty with any government therefore they consider themselves sovereign the people who were educated children see to create a great gap and they got accustomed to to the comforts and so-called progression from there they created today and so called Hopi Tribal Council see which was not only illegally installed but they also provided the material you know the people for the creation of an agency the served interest of government and big business so that is the great delay Hoagland in 1936 an election was held traditional hope is refused to participate in the white people's electoral process as a result the Tribal Council was established by the votes of a minority of voting homies today only five of the twelve Hopi villages have chosen to be represented on the Tribal Council his puppet government is replacement for whatever traditional government would have it would have existed and it's the rubber stamp it's the signature on the contracts by which minerals are taken away because they consul or any in Indian Bureau it can ask any permission from from the hope hope is that our leaders it is ruled by the Secretary of Interior that's in their constitution it's in the tribal council Constitution that he has final yay or nay over anything that the tribal council government does I think it's going to come out since we have a few documents how how the government created this council over here we wanted to abolish the console then if we clean this mess over here get rid of the console all the other native people will be free too in 1882 a reservation was set aside for the hopi it included lands that were occupied by members of the Navajo tribe centered on coal rich black mesa this area later became known as the joint use area congress divided the joint use area between the two tribes in 1974 thousands of Navajos caught on the wrong side of the fence were forced by law to move some are ignoring the order and refused to relocate either from the partition land or from the Peabody Coal Company lease area the coal strip mined from Black Mesa is used to fire power plants which in turn provide electricity for southwestern cities they open that mine to employ some people up there for jobs for the local people we knew that someday that did these ignorant greedy people will start mining this before they go on and run up if you go up to the mining area they say that what kind of experience do you have and you gotta have some common spirits like every comment or some kind of spirits on mine and to get a job up there they never the government never asked us and then put up this hopi tribal council so what they're doing is everything is illegal moving on level people out and strip mining over here people disagree with the mining ever since then because of the there's a lot of wrongdoing that the company has been doing to the culture and the religion belief and also through the contaminating the land water there the people talking about it because the whole Black Mesa is sacred ground there's a lot of areas up on black mesas the herbal medicine that they used Kerr sickle cell use for the ceremonies and also type tobacco's for the same one so that's the way the people look at it is that they want to go home Peabody out of Black Mesa so so-called prophecy is actually it's not some not something miscarries it's just like common sense you know you know what can happen like we know that after winter spring occurred if we don't follow those instructions if we get off of that instructions the world might turn over if we're not purified or by a church quite on my are Winton from his at our pee tourniquet Paneth but Naveed the mill it already started up achieve it the nature are you telling us the earthquakes and this winter the flower says bloom not that means that's jivin that we're real close to a purification so we already started we're already starting the purification for that of a happy new expand upon that but yet in the glory of all this technology and and mind that we have acquired we remain blind nero entitle me to about it and pass that certain things happens eating a pastor tell us from human something's happening to land and life and the people know of it Amanda put American man alive also tell us your different types tell us also that something is happening it something's coming but Intuit um where you came to live in peaceful way upon this content or this layer leonard life the Great Spirit gave us we were not to fight each other we're not to create destroy things ancestry very talented young and young Anushka can party items or sanam sanam cap entities we all have certain religious instructions but it seems some different religious group societies seem to have forgotten those basic instructions stitches warnings and our doing something that's just the opposite when you have two more things that are not in line with the law of great spirit of nature and creating this problem we are all given instruction to take care of this land their life according to law of great spirit of law of nature and that is what I'm doing and I hope that you leaders or you who are belonging to some a society that may be able to help correct these things you better hurry up and look into this and correct them so unless possible it albeit wire tons of it we are healed and deep deep deep trouble right now and it's time that mourn society governments people everyone right make a serious serious beginning in respecting not only nature but the people who have protected nature like indigenous people and redeem atone and we cannot say well it's not what my concern because somebody did is stealing and the murmuring for me so many generations ago the fact that we are enjoying wealth this technology and resources that doesn't take away that we don't have any more responsibility I see the return successful return to nature war or the means voluntarily not by force because nature of forces into that if we don't do it ourselves is to empower the Aboriginal people not just only the Native American but all over the world Australia Africa whatever is left on that wisdom of that knowledge that education so if we fix this right then maybe a few people will be safe around this world not just here in Hopi but all all around the world that will survive this purification and we would all meet here in this continent which we call heaven then all the people will come up to the Hopi nation to start a new life and leave our long happy lasting life after that there will be no Wars anything like that we all live in peace and start a new life again this is this is this is what marking has told me so we need to start working for the creator to survive this world shook when I might offer because under Porsche knock what is it in the path parfum you kitchen got cut admitted you keep have
