CREE INDIAN PROPHECY
Warriors of the Rainbow
Last century an old wise woman of the Cree Indian nation, named “Eyes of Fire”, had a vision of the future. She prophesied that one day, because of the white mans’ or Yo-ne-gis’ greed, there would come a time, when the earth being ravaged and polluted, the forests being destroyed, the birds would fall from the air, the waters would be blackened, the fish being poisoned in the streams, and the trees would no longer be, mankind as we would know it would all but cease to exist. There would come a time when the “keepers of the legend, stories, culture rituals, and myths, and all the Ancient Tribal Customs” would be needed to restore us to health, making the earth green again. They would be mankind’s key to survival, they were the “Warriors of the Rainbow”. There would come a day of awakening when all the peoples of all the tribes would form a New World of Justice, Peace, Freedom and recognition of the Great Spirit.
The Sacred Pipe
Story told By: Dancing Heart Rising
Many stories have been told about the ‘Sacred Pipe’. The Whites refer to it as The Peace Pipe, but persons of Indian descent know it as a sacred item having a special place in Indian cultures. The pipe, in one form or another, has come to most cultures around the world. Every society has used the pipe in one way or another.

The Seven Laws of the Great Spirit
We have seven laws to guide us and advise us in our daily lives. The whites have ten called “commandments,” another example of English as military language, and it doesn’t sound good in song. Our languages are soft and musical, but we do the best we can to make things clear and to educate people in English.

What explains the extraordinary longevity of Indonesia’s ‘New Order’, and what are the legacies of three decades of dictatorship? Benedict Anderson details Suharto’s career, from colonial army to crony capitalism, and explores the consequences of his rule—political, social, cultural—for a disorientated, amnesiac present.

Who would have thought the roof of the world could be such a turbulent place? From the foothills of the Himalaya, to the mountain passes of Bhutan, and up on the high Tibetan plateau, people have recently been voting for change – either with their feet or at the ballot box.

Benedict Anderson
Wednesday marks the second anniversary of the death of the famous Indonesian writer Pramoedya Ananta Tur (1926-2006). Benedict Anderson reflects on the Indonesian’s legacy, and what it means for writers in his homeland and beyond
Pramoedya Ananta Tur was born in 1926, in the small, very poor Javanese town of Blora, perhaps like Roi Et was 50 years ago.
