These are the people who must be taken care of, honorable
Senators.” Most of the Indian world was gone-physically, socially, politically,
economically, spiritually, and culturally. It was as though the Great Spirit had
abandoned them, and an evil power had replaced him, and there was no way out. The
Sacred Vision appeared in the sky as the sacred hoop of the nation is broken
and the people are imprisoned in tribal housing slums. The Blackfoot vision
appears in the afternoon daylight; looking West, clouds appear swirling in a
clear blue sky, the spirit buffalo appears, blowing lightening out of his
nostrils, tossing his head, snorting, agitated-angry, ready to fight; two Blackfoot
warriors appear horseback, painted for war, each carrying a long lance, tipped
with lightening, the two warriors charge upon the sacred buffalo; one on each
side, guiding the sacred buffalo, down to Earth, faster, faster; down, down,
they come, to strike the earth, counting coup; the buffalo vision fades; then, out
of the North, the Sacred Pipe appears, and travels slowly over the mountains,
blowing puffs of sacred smoke, the Sacred Vision Prophecy announces the purification
of man and earth. You can see it in
the fight between the destroyers of the earth and the saviors of the earth. A
tiny group of billionaires has seized control of the fate of all Americans, and
all of us are hurtling toward human extinction. The history of enslavement of
Africans, the genocide of Indians for land, laborers born under corporate
totalitarianism is economic in purpose, and it is before us today. It is not
too late to change our common fate, but it is however, incumbent upon us to
learn our common history. The separation of Church and State is exceeded only
in importance by the crisis of separation of corporations from our government.
We share a common fate after all.
