Hopi Prophecy
The coming of the 5th world
Spinning Wheels
The first sign said the white-skinned men would come, the second said: “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.”
A Strange Beast
“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."
Snakes of Iron
“This is the Fourth Sign: The land will be crossed by snakes of iron."
A Spider's Web
“This is the Fifth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed by a giant spider’s web."
Rivers of Stone
“This is the Sixth Sign: The land shall be criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun."
A Blackened Sea
“This is the Seventh Sign: You will hear of the sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it."
Growing Hair
“This is the Eighth 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."
A Fall from the Heavens
“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."
