Fall Prophecy
from Sundance Ceremony 2000
(second day)


Tunkasila Canku Woksape: Relatives have come tonight and speaking first before, he says, our little council here, this Big Man (Sundance Tree) looks down. And he says that he gave some of his feathers today [Hay I- e – e – e Hah!] He dropped some of his leaves. Whenever there was a need, he would give a little bit of himself. And as he promised, he covered those three areas so that we wouldn't feel the burden of them, even in the Summer, and definitely, he says, not in the Fall.

So he has been watching today. And today he recognizes the efforts of all the Peoples that there was a Movement for Peace, he says. There's a Movement for Peace and that everything was good in this. That this Peace will come with that will be felt with that Full Moon in October.

That, that is when you will feel an influence coming from the Sky, he says. And there will be a Star and a Light connected to it that precedes that Blue Star that was spoken of, also. So there is an influence coming in the skies, he says, near this Full Moon of October that is going to help people to relax.

He says it has to do with your Kidneys, and so as these Changes are going on, we can drink more Water and Teas that doctor this. He says there are two Plants that will help you with this. Now, he says that one of these Plants is the Sage and that he receives this gift to his feet from the Woman Nation. And that everything that happens is Good. And that to be in the Sacred Land of the Hills is a Great Blessing.

Now this Tall Standing One, he says, his Friend came in today. And that this was that Influence of when it was felt the Door opened up. That his Friend is a Giant that lives in the Sky who says he lives just off the left side of Orion. This Friend of his reached down and he's very happy today, this Tall One, because he hadn't gotten to visit with this Friend in a long time and they go to spend time together today.

When this Giant from the Sky reached down it grabbed the heart of impurity within the Earth and pulled it up so he could see what it was and took out a few things that didn't belong in there and passed them back into the Earth and took this darkness and put his hand in the Sun. And the Sun itself is going to change now in its attitude towards us.

H –o – o– u –m – m! That our Mother is going to send very Gentle Light that will feel like a fire burning ... uh ... deep in the bones. And that this will change our attitudes, too.

That the attitudes of unfamiliarity and separation are going to be removed. And this Giant received with his other hand a blessing from the Creator. Blessing from the Light and the Star Ways.

And this was a Gift that walks with that Woman of the North. That ... ho! ... as her footsteps touched even the Earth a little bit a Great Light like a cloud came and touched down on the Earth.

And this Giant he spread it around. He says he wanted to spread it all around the world but the influence that he had at this time, he covered this continent with this Light.

Now upon this shoulder of this One stands the helper of Wambdi Gleska ... uh ... an Eagle from the Stars. And this Eagle, he said he looked into the very inner parts of our Hearts today when we were praying and when we were listening. That even we did better with relaxing a little bit with those prayers. That things are going to be more balanced for us.

This Eagle he went to all the Relatives across this Land and he brought their prayers to the Tree. O – o – oh! M – m! He brought their prayers to the Tree and that he allowed those prayers to whisper a little bit in our ears and so there were a few, he said, actually many, that said the Prayer of the Relatives. And so when they said these prayers, he says, during the Fall that Relative will come to you. They will come and they will help you in the way with that prayer.

Now this Eagle has a friend and a helper as well. It's this Beaver. And this Beaver is here right now. One of those Old Time Beaver guys. Barely fits in here, you know. He says, don't worry, he doesn't have gas. He's talking about someone else today. He says he'll help us with these ways of digestion. He's a master at this.

Now this Beaver is to go out where that Cloud was spread by the hands of the Giant that touched the North and came with the footsteps of the Sacred Woman. And his job, he said, is already done. That he has the power to step beyond Time especially 'cause you opened the Door for him. That all the Hearts were tied together and to the energies of the Prayer.

What was said that "could" be, WAS, IS, CONTINUES. And that because of the Prayers, because of the energies that were given, because of the Blessing from the Skies and the Light That Is Coming, and because of the Sage, the help from that Nation, that five years have been reclaimed. That Spider's web, that a single strand that was taken into a place of unknowingness will begin this year in the Fall to become remembered. And that in this way that from the Beaver Medicines will come. That in his tooth and in his ...bowels... are two Medicines. And that these Medicines will take care of two of these diseases. And the third has to do with a Plant that's down in the Amazon that they know about down there but nobody been listen'. So they'll be some Victories because this strand has been reclaimed.

Now these two Relatives came in. They are Twins and come from the Wakinyan Oyate. And they're these two little lightning guys. And they really like the Antakarana. They won't go anywhere else. They're right there. They don't have anything to say but this Grandma is gonna speak for them.

She says that she called them here. One is ... one of these Relatives is called "Purity" and the other one is called "Foresight."

She says, 'Become familiar with them.' Because when the Fall comes about, these Seven Laws of Purity and the Consciousness of Foresight, the Consciousness of What You Already Know -- being responsible for it. That everyone across the Planet, because of these five years, will become responsible.

Now, she says, these Seven Laws of Purity are held in these Seven Rites that she brought and that there is a reason for each one of these. And that Purity is very important when that Light Comes in the Sky because for some it will be as if they become dry bones on the ground.

For those that utilize the knowledge Creator has given to them, they will become as babies in the summer breeze, she says. It will be very good for them.

And so with this Light that is Coming these two Wakinyan, these two Little Brothers that they are going to have a great influence. And one will clean our records and clean our sins like lye soap. And the other will give us a forewarning before we get taken to the bathroom. And that this is coming Seven Days after the Full Moon of October, this Responsibility of Purity. So this Woman says, 'No need to worry. Simply remain in the Child Mind. And continue opening your Hearts.' That, 'one feeling of Love will lift you beyond all these difficulties. And even should you find your flesh falling to the ground because of a difficulty, through a single feeling of Love the Stone can bring you back together again.'

'There's not anything to worry.'

Now these two Owls are here. Ho! One facing one way and the other facing the other -- back to back, you might say. And together they make a big, Great Owl, he says. See the eyes now.

This Owl says, 'Mind what you do in the Night.' That 'The Night has been created as Sacredness.'

Hehaka: Hi ay ya!!

Canku: And that during this Fall Time you are to pray at Night and that the Owl will remind us of this. [Cricket chirps.] The Night, it has been said, belongs to the Animals – "Wamakaskan" – For this reason, when you pray, put out a little bit for them, a little bit from your dinner, a little bit from your Tobacco, or a little bit from your hair. Just put out a little bit. And don't go into their space. Let them ... they are going to be extremely busy this Fall ... because there is a reweaving of the way things are going to be.

Now there's a Grandpa here and said that he sat at the base of this Tree ALL DAY LONG! And he paid attention to every little prayer and every thought, every experience. And he wants to relate two things: He says, these Hawks that come, first, they come to say that 'everything is reconciled.' That last year their Nation was disturbed a little bit and that it's all better.

The second message that these Hawks bring is a forewarning, or a foreknowledge of this Light That's Coming. They say that this Light That Comes with the energy of like The Dove.

There will be a soft bath. That it will create the first changes in these glands. It will be the opening.

And so, these Hawks are saying, 'Do your homework.' Begin at that New Moon -- the New Moon before that Full Moon. Begin your prayers to prepare yourself. 'Do a sweat.' They said. And at that Full Moon, have, in your Heart "INTENT TO BE. "[pause] And so this is what the message of these Cetan ... Cetan Numpa ... uh ... they will come to us. They say they are reactivated. They've been a little mad at humanity, they said, 'cause they would bring a good message and it would be ignored but now they are going to show themselves again.'

And so when you see that Hawk, stop and pay attention. Pray. Receive the message. They say, human beings are telepathic now. So, there's no excuse for not taking the time to listen.

Now this Man Who Sat at the Base of the Tree, he said he looked into our eyes today. That some saw a Panther and some saw The Eagle and some saw The Snake. That what you saw is what you are going to get. That his will come as a lesson followed by a Blessing at the Time that it happened in your season.

There will be plenty of nourishment for the Earth during the Fall because the Blessing Rain was there ALL DAY LONG -- the Little Blessing Rain that comes when those prayers are answered.

Says, 'Give food to the People during the Fall' because this will be a seed for the Winter. And so let no one go hungry in your midst even if they're an old, raggedy, stinky street guy.... uh huh! Don't let anyone go hungry in the Fall. And, in this way, the Creator will have Mercy for what's coming in the Winter. Ho – o – o !

And so this Man Who Looked into Our Eyes, he sees a Unity that happened today. And so there will be a Blessing in the Tribe that will come in that Fall. Something that has been thought over for a very long time will come FREE and the People will come to a Peace with themselves. And then the Children will feel very happy. And this is how you know that there is that New Union in the Tribe.

They say even Business and Claims will be shakin' [laughter] ... shakin' together a little bit. And so this is what that Man had to say.

But there are some of your own spirits that are talking right now. Some of those Grandmas and Grandpas that  ... that are with you.

Your own helpers and Ancestors and they want they really want shared this teaching: It says that, first there's this Law that says that as human beings We must ASK in order to receive.

That the spiritual ones, they have many abilities to help us. But We must ask. They say that that which is in Heaven is that which is in Earth. And that which is in Heaven is ready to give that which is in Earth, as representatives, is US. We represent all our Relatives of Life -– the Animals and the Stones and the Plants. We represent even those Little Spirits That Take Care of the Land. We are very sacred when we remember. And so these Grandmas and Grandpas that walk with us say, "Remember to ASK for their help."

Now they say that to help them to be with you, to help them to have influence in your physical, emotional, and mental world, you need to do this. You need to send them energy. And you need to Pray! You need to BRING THROUGH your own body the energies of these Universal and Spiritual Laws, the energies of these Reikis, these energies of the Seven Arrows and your own personal gifts in the ways of Light and Sound and Vibration.

That when you sing for the Ancestors, for them to be with you, then they are able to form their invisible body. That when you pray for them to help you, that they are able to reach through with their hands and touch that which is physical and that when we think of them and keep them in Mind, they're able to manifest Pure Thought in our midst.

And so, in these ways, and many others, the Grandmas and Grandpas that walk with us very sincerely want us to help them by asking, and by channeling the energies, by bringing the Light, by giving from our own Sacred Flesh which is the Invisible Spirit, our Soul, that's in us. And that by giving, we grow.

In this way the Creator recognizes our readiness to walk with the Sacred Ones. And so when we do these things we help to bring that Heaven to Earth.

Now there isn't just anything left to do so we don't even need to recognize nothing about nobody that doesn't come 'cause they're aren't any of them at all. And they are very discouraged about tomorrow because there'll be no honoring for them. But they are very happy today because they are all around.

They say that in this Fall Time don't be concerned at all about what's going to be coming from the ground. They say that this darkness that will ascend ... uh ... won't affect anybody. And that they will be far away. And that they won't even help you when dry bones need the Stones at all. Said don't even Remember the Ways of the Water and don't even Remember the Ways of the Wood, and don't even Remember the Ways of the Stone because the Breath won't help you.

So these Relatives they're very discouraged and they cursed everybody. They're not gonna Bless the eyes, or the Ears nor the Mouth. And they say that they really hate us a lot! And so those Relatives just arrived and they enjoyed drinking all the Water.

Now just want to honor these three little Grandmas they came in just about first, but they've been very patient. They put their Blessing on everybody and they, with others, doctored everyone that's here. And they said there will be a good Season, in this Fall. There will be a time to listen because teachings will be coming. It will be a time to share because Teachings will have matured within you.

And it is a time to allow yourself to change, transform. Cause everything about you that you thought was real, they say, it will become unreal because something new that's closer to God's Reality is coming. Hau. Mitakuye Oyasin.

Chief Standing Elk: We'll sing a song. Say, "Pidama."Wayankiye. [Chief Standing Elk prays.] Hau. Mitakuye Oyasin.
