Schon seit langer Zeit schreit unsere Mutter Erde doch niemand erkennt ihre Zeichen!
Neverever to listen of hers sign

Wenn wir so weiter machen wie bisher, Sprühdosen verwenden, beliebig unseren Müll nach einem Picknick im Wald hinterlassen, aus Egoismus und Freude unsere Tiere quälen, unsere Kinder misshandeln und die Regenwälder abholzen wird unsere Welt sterben. Wann wird es endlich jedem bewusst! Es ist kurz vor zwölf umzudrehen. So können wir nicht weiter leben. Es ist allerhöchste Zeit, denn unsere Welt liegt im Sterben.

This is the First Sign:

We are 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 men who struck their enemies with thunder.

"This is the Second Sign:

Our lands will see the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices. In his youth, my father saw this prophecy come true with his eyes -- the white men bringing their families in wagons across the prairies."

"This is the Third Sign:
A strange beast like a buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers. These White Feather saw with his eyes -- the coming of the white men's cattle."

"This is the Fourth Sign:
The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."

"This is the Fifth Sign:
The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider's web."

"This is the Sixth sign:
The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the su

"This is the Seventh Sign:
You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."

"This is the Eight Sign:
You will see many youth, who wear their hair long like my people, come and join the tribal nations, to learn their ways and wisdom.

"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 my people will cease.

PROPHECY ROCK
Near Oraibi, Arizona, there is a petroglyph known as Prophecy Rock which symbolizes many Hopi prophecies. Its interpretation is: The large human figure on the left is the Great Spirit. The bow in his left hand represents his instructions to the Hopi to lay down their weapons. The vertical line to the right of the Great Spirit is a time scale in thousands of years. The point at which the great Spirit touches the line is the time of his return.
The "life path" established by the Great Spirit divides into the lower, narrow path of continuous Life in harmony with nature and the wide upper road of white man's scientific achievements. The bar between the paths, above the cross, is the coming of white men; the Cross is that of Christianity. The circle below the cross represents the continuous Path of Life. The four small human figures on the upper road represent, on one level, the past three worlds and the present; on another level, the figures indicate that some of the Hopi will travel the white man's path, having been seduced by its glamour. The two circles on the lower Path of Life are the "great shaking of the earth" (World Wars One and Two). The swastika in the sun and the Celtic cross represent the two helpers of Pahana, the True White Brother. The short line that returns to the straight Path of Life is the last chance for people to turn back to nature before the upper road disintegrates and dissipates.
The small circle above the Path of Life, after the last chance, is the Great Purification, after which corn will grow in abundance again when the Great Spirit returns. And the Path of Life continues forever... The Hopi shield in the lower right corner symbolizes the Earth and the Four-Corners area where the Hopi have been reserved. The arms of the cross also represent the four directions in which they migrated according to the instructions of the Great Spirit. The dots represent the four colors of Hopi corn, and the four racial colors of humanity.
