Only the Hopis and their homeland will be preserved as an oasis to which refugees will flee. The United States will be destroyed, land and people, by atomic bombs and radioactivity. World War III will be started by those peoples who first received the light in the other old countries. White Feather’s account is corroborated by a passage from the classic Book of the Hopi, written by Frank Waters and Oswald White Bear Fredericks, published in 1963. Thus, the territory in northern Arizona in the vicinity of the Hopi reservation will apparently be a safe haven during the transition between the end of the Fourth World and the beginning of the Fifth. Those who stay and live in the places of my people also shall be safe. Many of my people, understanding the prophecies, shall be safe. Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here. The white man will battle against other people in other lands-with those who possessed the first light of wisdom. These are the Signs that great destruction is coming. Remember, this humble Hopi man was talking in 1958. He believed this would especially occur in the lands where the “first light of wisdom” appeared-perhaps the Middle East or the Near East? Fiery columns of smoke would rise, which might remind us of either the surrealistic scene of Saddam Hussein setting his oil wells on fire during the first Gulf War or the “Shock and Awe” campaign of the subsequent, disastrous Iraq War.

White Feather furthermore said that the conclusion of the Fourth World would be accompanied by great wars and mass destruction. ( ) Warfare With Those Who Possessed the First Light of Wisdom

They are analogous to angels in the Christian religion.)Īll these portents are not strictly chronological, but the final sign will certainly conclude the series and may trigger the end of the Fourth World. ( Note: Kachinas-also spelled katsinam, plural, and katsina, singular-are spirit messengers between the world of the gods and the world of humans. After that, all Hopi ceremonies would cease entirely. The Blue Star Kachina would remove his mask in the village plaza during a sacred kachina dance.
