we are all children of god

“Upon suffering beyond suffering, the Red Nation shall rise again, and it shall be a blessing for a sick world.

“A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of seven generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again.

“In that day there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for wisdom.

“I salute the light within your eyes where the whole universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am in that place within me, we shall be as one.”

- Chief Crazy Horse prophesy.

"The teachings are for all, not just for Indians. ... The white people never wanted to learn before. They thought we were savages.

Now they have a different understanding, and they do want to learn. We are all children of God. The tradition is open to anyone who wants to learn. But who really wants to learn?"

- Don Jose Matsuwa, Huichol, 1989

“This is not only Indian religion, it is the first and true Faith of all the peoples of earth. It is equally meant for everyone, for all the four sacred colors of mankind.”

- Chief Sparrow Eagle, Lakota Elder and spiritual leader.
