To all People of American Indian
Blood.
Greeting
Known now that here is my answer
TO your many questions with regard to
the events now in process of execution
and our part therein.
Having asked The Great Spirit Git
che Mantle The Mighty for His direc-
ton, He has pointed to our Mother
Mantle and She has answered,
Does one of my sons ask the right
and the wrong of this great evil?
Have l not created you all with
wisdom and given you eyes to see
ears to hear and hearts of compass
sion to feel for your fellows2
Look upon my face, then to the
stars and the moon. DO you not see
my light reflected everywhere and
upon all people alike?
1.-The rain and the dew l control
and of them l give freely to all.
1.-The air I make pure by the fires
of my lightning and l ring tones OF
safety to all through the voice of my
thunder.
"The terrestrial atmosphere is pol
luted by auticracy but the lightnings
from laundering guns will consume
greed and set you free.
My winds mingle equally where are
the poor and the rich, the ignorant
and the wise and the sick as well as
the healthy
Il have made all my children tc
hear, to see, to feel TO taste and tc
think for themselves. I have not

have revealed to them their error and
in travail they must clear the world
of greed and make room for the
growth of commonwealth.
1.-The laws of our Father are the
same eternally and are Interchangeable !:
those laws must be obeyed by all hui
mainly and there can be no entrance
to the presence of our Father by the
inhabitants of any of His worlds until
every one of those inhabitants rec
ognize each other as brothers and
sisters and equally share my gifts in
proportion to merit.
"Your imaginings of heavens for any
race, religion, nation. tribe, or even
the good among you are all in vain :;
for you are all of the earth and shall
not leave it except as a whole.
THE whole of the earth's people
must be as one, before you can enter
the Celestial.
Il control life, death and re-incar-
nation and if you permit any among
you to plant and cultivate seeds oil
greed, then you as a whole race mus
delay your advancement in proportion
to your neglect to crush greed.
1T is for you as a race to distin
guish right from wrong and destro,
the wrong, for l have elevated you t.
the ideal.
I'm doing this have no fear of dealt
for death is but change Through re
incarnation) that you may meet ant
enjoy your loves and receive your re
wards whether they be for good o
evil done in your past life. Sow love
reap happiness. Sow hate, rea'
pain" "a
