“If we dig precious things from the land, we will invite disaster.”
\n~Hopi prophecy<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Keystone XL pipeline is just one of quite a few projects set to cut accross sacred lands of the Native Americans. A cut in one of them will flood and destroy the Native territories, alternative routes have been dismissed, and the situation has been seen as a coming true of the Black Snake prophecy common to Native American cultures from the Hopi to the Mohawk and the Sioux.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe demolition is devastating,\u201d Archambault told the AP. \u201cThese grounds are the resting places of our ancestors. The ancient cairns and stone prayer rings there cannot be replaced. In one day, our sacred land has been turned into hollow ground.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAnd 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.
\n~ Hopi Prophecy<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Eastwards the Black Snake shall come
\nFrom where the sun sets in the West
\nTwin headed it will kill all
\nIts destiny manifest.<\/p>\n

But the warriors can defeat it
\nThough not with arrows of old
\nBut of peoples divided uniting
\nThey by their elders are told.<\/p>\n

Their ancestors graves are being desecrated
\nFrom hallowed to hollow ground are being made
\nThe Chinese Space Station careers to earth out of control
\nThe signs make the Sign Readers afraid.<\/p>\n

It has been spoken of in the past
\nThey have dawns, those long ago spoken of times
\nShould men not fight for the Earth again
\nEarth shall fall victim to Corporations crimes.<\/p>\n
