The Other Side of the Sky

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SKY

`The Ute and the wandering Crow
Shall know as the white men know,
And fare as the white men fare.
The pale and the red shall be brothers,
One's rights shall be as another's,
Home, school, and house of prayer.'

(J. G. Whittier).

THE message of the Hopi Indians of Arizona is now being heard around the world, and other Indian tribes from Canada to Tierra del Fuego are responding to the call. The last great Indian `Campfire' represented by the Hopis, is lighting other 'campfires' throughout the world by its spiritual appeal, and there is a rebirth and reawakening of all that is Indian on Earth.

Indians in the United States are searching their ancient prophecies and legends to see what they can learn of their yesterday, their today, and their tomorrow. They are finding that the traditions from the past hold startling implications for the immediate future. We learn this when we study Hopi legends, for we find while some of them refer to the activities of space visitors in the past, others obviously refer to a time in the future when the visitants will again appear. For instance, a Hopi `myth' relates how twin stars in the sky are symbolic of a man and a woman who had strange experiences and eventually journeyed across the sky one following the other. In this so-called 'myth' and many others we may find that certain Indian people in the past did, indeed, have 'strange experiences' and did actually 'journey across the sky'. The appearance of UFOs in the affairs of ancient people can easily explain such `myths'.

The Indians who are now attempting to return to their ancient way of community life and religious beliefs as ordained for their ancestors by the One Great Spirit, realize that if they do not follow His way the prophecies of calamity for the future of this world may find them wanting. Countless stories of kindly people who came from lands 'beyond the sky' are to be found in their rich mythologies. No matter where you are in space, there is always the other side of the sky to be accounted for. When the Hopis were on another planet ('underworld'), the planet Earth was the land `beyond the sky', now that they live on Earth all other planets are on 'the other side of the sky'.

In 1950-51 I lived with the Chippewa Indians of Minnesota, U.S.A. These people of the northern forests retain many stories of the 'GinGwin' or 'the objects which shake the earth'. The 'Gin-Gwin' were also called 'the earth rumblers', or 'flying boats'. The venerable old Chippewas still tell of the sacred 'Little People' in a whisper. These highly intelligent little men were supposed to have appeared in ancient times to the people of the Chippewa Nation. While they were with the Indians they taught them better ways of living. When I asked the old Indians why these wise beings are no longer seen (that was 1950), they told me: 'They don't come around much any more since the white man came.'

UFOs exist in the tales of almost all the American Indian tribes from Canada to Tierra del Fuego, and even in the legends of so-called primitive people all over the world. The Paiute and Navajo Indians of the American Southwest speak of the 'Havmusuvs' or the `Little People' who came to Earth in 'Flying Boats' and carried sun-discs with them that carried some kind of a magic ray. The Sioux, Mandan, and Cherokee Tribes speak of the 'Little Wise People', and the Iroquois and other tribes relate tales of the 'sky dwellers' and the beautiful and wise 'Star People'.

The Machiguenga Indians of the tropical rainforests of eastern Peru speak of the `people of the heavens who came (to Earth) on a shining road in the sky'.

The Quechua Indians of South America speak of the Illa-Siva or 'light rings' and the Rampa-Liviac or 'litters of electric energies' that were seen in the days of 'Lord Inca'.

We have already mentioned that the `Plumed Serpent' is known all over North, Central, and South America. In many legends the 'Plumed Serpent' is the 'hissing serpent' that was 'cast to earth' in remote times. His symbol is not only found on Hopi kiva altars but was used by the prehistoric Mound Builders of Ohio and is found in the symbology of virtually every ancient people. It is interesting to note that the Hebrew word for serpent means: `to hiss', or 'bright, fiery one'. There is a wealth of information on extra-terrestrial contact with Earth in the past if we search the legends and `myths'. Like other stories found throughout the world, the Karens of Burma say that a `white god' went off in a 'bright ship' and will return again soon. The 'white god' sounds like the Hopi Massau, and the `bright ship' sounds like the 'Great Star'.

To really understand an Indian and his way of life, a white man must follow the words of G. B. Grinnell, in Indians of Today :

It is not easy for a white man, unless he has had some special train ing, to place himself on a level with the Indian, and learn how he thinks. Yet this must be done before we can understand him. To fully comprehend him, the investigator must cast aside all that he has been taught, and all that he has absorbed since childhood, must cease to be artificial and become natural. If one takes part with them in their daily lives, listening to the solemn prayers which they offer when they light the pipe, and joining with eye, ear and voice in the conversation that passes between those who form the circle, he (the white man) will gain an insight into a life and a method of thought that he did not suppose existed.

Ernest Thompson Seton, the world renowned authority on the beliefs and traditions of the American Indian, once said :

`The creed of the American Indian is all-inclusive... their gospel includes and surpasses all others... I am dedicating my life to the perpetuation of this creed.'

The words `artificial' and `natural' above, are the key words. All men must learn to be natural and live a natural life in the coming New Age on the Earth. When civilized man can live simply as the Creator intended, then he will begin to understand the phenomena of nature around him and in the skies above.

Evidently, Ernest Thompson Seton understood this key, for he dedicated his entire life to bringing the beautiful message of the Red man's creed to all people everywhere. He is directly responsible for much of it being saved. Many of the legends and `myths' of the Indian people, which are beautiful in the old way, would have been lost to us except for men like Seton and others. If the present trend in Indian affairs is not halted in Washington, D.C., I am afraid that many other phases of the Indian's culture will no longer be permitted to enrich the American way of life.

Recently, in the Wall Street Journal, Chief John Big Wind, one of the patriarchs of the Ojibway Tribe in Ontario, Canada, said :

`The white race is doomed to extinction if it does not change its ways! This time is not far away. People of the white race apparently hate work, they drink and smoke constantly, and they stay out all night and take each other's women. They kill each other in countless wars and on the highways. What is to become of them if they disobey the Great Spirit's Laws?'

This Indian chief is 94 years old, and was once given a medal by Queen Victoria because she liked his singing.

The famous Indian Chief, White Calf, once said:

'Before our people came in contact with the white people our nation was strong and powerful. They were successful in the hunt, they were healthy and vigorous, they were erect, and could walk straight and steady. They looked up, and not down. Their minds were clear, they could follow a straight line. Now, all is changed. They act like crazy people, they can't run, and they walk crookedly, they are on both sides of a straight line and not following it. They are excited and not calm. They are weak and helpless and fight one another and are destroying themselves. The white man's "firewater" or liquor has done the mischief.'

Lone Wolf, Chief of the Kiowa Nation, in 189i addressed a Christian Council near Anadarko, Oklahoma. He said:

'We shall expect great and good things from you and your teachings. Won't you share your life and sunshine with us? Won't you give us some of your joy?'

The 'great and good things' Chief Lone Wolf spoke of never manifested. The so-called 'Christian' white men answered the chief's request for 'life, sunshine, and joy' with `death, darkness, and firewater'!

From the beginning of the contact between the White Race and the Indian Race in North America, the Indian people attempted to learn all they could about the white man's way of life and his religious beliefs. They believed that there was only One Great Spirit and that the 'Great Father' of the white man must be the same Infinite Creator. They wanted to know how this Creator had manifested Himself to the White Race for the}, felt that they could thereby learn more of His Wisdom. The white man, on the other hand, always considered the Indian people as 'heathens' and `savages'. Never once did a white man believe that the Indian's 'Great Spirit' was the same Creator he worshipped as the Father of Jesus, the Christ.

Tragic proof of this is found in the pitiful story of four Nez Perce Indians who traveled from their country in eastern Oregon and Washington in 1832 to St. Louis, Missouri.

The Indians had journeyed a great distance on foot to seek information on the white man's 'Great Father'. They wanted to find a white teacher who would go back with them and bring the 'Book of God' so that they might know what revelations had come to the White Race. One of the Indians, in speaking to General Clarke at St. Louis, said:

'I came to you over a trail of many moons from the setting sun (West). You were the friend of my fathers, who have all gone the long way. I came with one eye partly opened for more light for my people who sit in darkness. I go back with both eyes closed. How can I go back blind to my blind people ? I made my way to you with strong arms, through many enemies and strange lands, that I might carry back much to them. I go back with both arms broken and empty. The two fathers who came with me, the braves of many winters and wars, we leave asleep here by your great water (Mississippi River). They were tired in many moons and their moccasins wore out. My people sent me to get the white man's "Book from heaven". You took me where you allow your women to dance, as we do not ours... and the "Book" was not there. You showed me the images of good spirits, and pictures of the good land beyond... but the "Book" was not among them! When I tell my poor blind people, after one more snow, in the big council, that I did not bring the "Book", no word will be spoken by our old men or by our young braves. One by one they will rise up and go out in silence. My people will die in darkness, and they will go on the long path to the other hunting grounds. No white man will go with them, and no white man's "Book" to make the way plain. I have no more words.'

Not a single `Book' or Holy Bible could be found in old St. Louis to give to these humble and seeking people. Instead, the Indians saw the white man living in a way that was disgraceful to the Indian Life Plan. They expected `much' of the White Race and they got it... but it was something entirely different from that which they sought. Their land was stolen and they were deprived of all that was theirs including their very lives! Remember, all Indian tribes and all Indians are not alike. While the Hopis never went to battle and never killed, many tribes were composed of fierce warriors. Today, those tribes have disappeared while the Hopis live on. This is in accordance with the Law:

`... he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword...'

George Catlin, the famous traveler and artist, and painter of Indian portraits, came west in the Spring of 1833 to continue his work of preserving for the world the American Indian by means of his art. He joined the annual traders' caravan in which the two Indians mentioned above were returning to their land. Two of the old men had died in St. Louis, and the original Indian delegation of four dwindled to two.

Catlin travelled 2,000 miles with these Indians and liked them very much. One of the Indian men died near the mouth of the Yellowstone River on his way home. He had contracted a disease in 'civilization'. The lone survivor of the great journey across the Rocky Mountains arrived home safely and conveyed to his people the sad news of the death of the three men and the fact no 'Book' was to be found.

Catlin painted the portraits of the two men he knew on the journey and these are still preserved in the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C. But Mr. Catlin did not learn the object of their mission to St. Louis until he returned to Pittsburgh the next Fall. He doubted the report, and so he wrote to his friend, General Clarke, who replied :

'Yes, the story is true; that was the only object of their visit to St. Louis.'

When George Catlin heard this be said. 'Publish this story to the world!'

Although this search for Truth on the part of the Nez Perce people ended in failure and later their lands were taken from them, something did occur shortly after i833 that gives the story a brighter aspect.

A Rev. Lee and a Rev. Spaulding heard about the Indian search and their great journey. In true Christian fashion they answered the call and took their wives with them as they went by horseback across the wilderness of the Rocky Mountains. George Catlin talked with the Rev. and Mrs. Spaulding in Pittsburgh just before they left on their first missionary tour of the Nez Perce country. Catlin said:

`I believe our religion should be carried directly into the wilderness... beyond the reach and influence of civilization and its vices.'

Catlin saw the missionaries some years later, and they told him:

'The Indians in the native wilds are a kind and friendly people... we have shown the world that the Indians can be civilized and Christianized... we have always been treated with the utmost kindness and respect at all times during our stay with these native people.'

The great Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Indians said that when his father was a young man, a missionary by the name of Rev. Spaulding who talked `spirit law' came amongst them. Chief Joseph said that the Indians liked Spaulding very much because he `told them good things'.

This same Rev. Spaulding met the father of Chief Joseph and learned that the Nez Perce Indians believed this young man had come to them from the 'star' we know as the planet Saturn.

I know of an old Yakima Indian Chief who still tells this story and says that the legends of the Nez Perce and the Yakimas definitely state that the father of Chief Joseph was not a man of Earth but came from Saturn. Little is known of the father, but history has recorded the greatness of the son, for Chief Joseph was one of the greatest men who ever lived, white or Indian.

Wouldn't it be strange indeed if Rev. Spaulding contacted a people who had already encountered intelligences from outer space? And if they had, why did they send a delegation to look for the white man's 'Book'? There is undoubtedly more to this story than we will ever know.

The Hopi Indians of Arizona are surrounded by the aggressive Navajo Tribe. These Indians are in no way similar to their Hopi neighbors, for they are a nomadic people who never live in villages, and their religion, customs, language, dress, rituals, etc., are completely different. There is no more similarity culturally between a man from England and a man from China than there is between a Hopi and a Navajo.

However, like the Hopis, the Navajo people retain a rich mythology which obviously contains references to extra-terrestrial contact with their tribe in the ancient past.

The Navajos believe they came from the 'underworld' about 3,000 years ago. (This would be close to the time of Moses and the Exodus from Egypt in 1233 B.C.). The Navajos have Four Sacred Mountains: La Platte Mountain, Colorado; Mount Taylor, New Mexico; Navajo Mountain, near the border of Utah-Arizona; and the San Francisco Peaks, near Flagstaff, Arizona.

The first and greatest god of the Navajos is Hastchazinna. His name means `black' or 'dark' and he lives under the Earth in burning pitch and fire. He controls all `lights' and all heavenly bodies that shine belong to him.

Another great god of the Navajo people is the youthful Bakochiddy. This god has light hair, reddish-blond. He is in charge of 'serpents' and 'all flying things'. Like Hastchazinna, he is also in charge of all the skies and the stars and rain. This youthful god is very interesting because his activities are very much the same as those of the Christian Messiah. Bakochiddy is known as a 'white god'. The Navajos say he now lives in the `rainbow', and that he 'ascended up into heaven by himself' and now looks down on them.

The initiated medicine men recognize a hidden or secret meaning behind the Navajo gods which is different from that which they give to the members of their tribe.

The Navajos speak of a 'white mountain' that raised up in ancient times and gave `light' to their ancestors when they were in darkness in the 'underworld'.

Another Navajo god is Bekitedizza, or `the god who had something wrapped around him'. He lives where the `rainbow' is. He is intimately connected in Indian mythology with the blond god Bakochiddy, and the Navajos say he called their leaders together in a meeting long ago and proclaimed an important message to them.

There are legends that speak of the 'six gods' who lived in the 'white mountain' that goes up and down. This home of the gods would emit 'black, dark smoke and flames of fire'.

While the Hopis say they climbed to the country on 'the other side of the sky' on a 'reed ladder', the Navajos say they climbed to the 'upper world' on 'bamboo' that penetrated the `hole to the Earth'. The Navajos say that when they first came to the Earth it was covered with water and there were places covered with mud and scattered rocks, and there was darkness on the Earth and the only light the people had was the light from a great `comet' which was a `campfire' of a god.

Now the 'white mountain' is supposed to be near La Platte Mountain in Colorado, and the legends say that in the ancient past there was a `star' with a great 'fire tail' on it in the centre of `white mountain'.

Several gods are said to have placed 'lightning and the rainbow' over their lodge so that these things 'arched over the lodge'. Gods are also said to have lived inside of great mountains, and a great god who made the Sun, Moon, and stars, placed human life or beings on all celestial bodies so they would be inhabited like the Earth. The Navajos never describe other planets except to say that they are 'points of life'.

The blond god, Bakochiddy, told the ancient Navajos:

'The mountains you shall hold sacred. You shall mention them in your prayers and your chants, and, as time goes on, at different periods I shall appear again to you and take note of your doings'.

The Navajos say that the story of Bakochiddy is very ancient and has nothing to do with Christian influence. However, this god did go up to heaven, and he has blond hair, white skin, and blue-grey eyes. He is said to have brought white, yellow and black children among the people who came from the 'underworld'. (This sounds like three races of mankind, and the people from the `underworld' would have been a fourth race, or the `Red Race'.) The white, yellow and black children grew up to be young men and Bakochiddy said they were to teach the ancestors of the Navajos many different things. It is said that Bakochiddy could cause the white and yellow children to 'float up in the sky by his breath', but the black child would not go up. The children all lived on a mountain with Bakochiddy.

The Navajos speak of great giants called Yaitso, who came upon the Earth and of one-eyed giants and an `immense bird with wings' that was called Tsenahala. They do not know if the `bird with wings' was really a bird or not, they only say it was a 'creature with great wings'. Giants were supposed to live near what is now Laguna, New Mexico, in a place called Tosito. Laguna is south-east of Mount Taylor, one of the sacred mountains of the Navajo people. The 'immense bird with wings' lived on top of Tsepitai, or `the rock with wings'. This rock is known today as 'Ship Rock' in New Mexico.

As we study this mixture of mythological lore, we begin to see the same old similar pattern. The Navajos say they came from the `underworld' about 3,000 years ago. This would mean they arrived on Earth about the same time as the Hopis and about the time of the Exodus from Egypt. Did these people also arrive from outer space? One of the four Sacred Mountains of the Navajo people is the San Francisco Mountain (Peaks) of Arizona which is also sacred to the Hopis.

The first and greatest Navajo god, Hastchazinna, sounds like a reference to Lucifer-Maldek, who was also 'black' and `dark' and was enveloped in `burning pitch and fire'. This god is supposed to control all 'lights' and all heavenly bodies that shine belong to him. This sounds like a reference to Lucifer-Maldek, a `corrupt planet' that attempted to bring all other `heavenly bodies that shine' and heavenly 'lights' under its control. This is also mentioned in Isaiah xiv:13,14:

`For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God : I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north : I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.'

Youthful Bakochiddy with the blond hair, the white skin, and the blue-grey eyes, sounds like a visitant. The fact he is in charge of `serpents' (Plumed Serpent?) and `all flying things' indicates this. Also, he is connected with the sky, the stars and the rain. He is supposed to live in the `rainbow' and he ascended up to heaven by himself and now looks down on the Navajos. It is said that Bakochiddy made all of his travels by the `light of the rainbow' in a miraculous way. `Ascending into heaven' and travelling by the `light of the rainbow' sounds very much like UFO activity and is not unlike the experience of Ezekiel in the Old Testament. Bakochiddy caused the children to 'float up in the sky by his breath'. Here is another indication that the blond god had power over things in the air. Remember, this god told the ancient Navajos: `... as time goes on, at different periods, I shall appear again to you and take note of your doings.' This is an obvious reference to a visitant who promised to return and help the people when they needed him. Bakochiddy is said to have helped the Navajos while they were still in the 'underworld'. The fact that a `white mountain' raised up and gave them 'light' when they were in the darkness of that 'underworld', may indicate Bakochiddy was from another more highly advanced world and came to help the Navajos journey to the `upper world' or the Earth. Another indication that this may be true is the fact that the god was 'blond' and of a different race.

I wonder what 'secrets' the medicine men know today about the Navajo gods that the tribal members are unaware of?

Bakochiddy's associate is Bekitedizza, or 'the god who had something wrapped around him' and he lives where the `rainbow' is. The `something wrapped around' the god could refer to the force field of a UFO, and the home in the 'rainbow' could easily refer to the origin point of space craft. The fact that a contact with outer space intelligences outside the sphere of the Navajos was made is indicated by the fact that Bekitedizza 'called the Navajo leaders together in a meeting long ago and proclaimed an important message to them'. If the Navajos came from outer space themselves, they were 'visitants' in a sense, also. However, there are many indications that the later Navajo 'gods' had originally been intelligences much more highly advanced than even the ancestors of the Navajos and they arrived on the scene just prior to the destruction of Lucifer-Maldek to assist some of the people in their journey to Earth.

The Navajos are not the only ones who say that when they first came to the Earth it was covered with water, mud and scattered rocks. The Zuni Indians of New Mexico say the same thing, and certain Hopi legends say that there was mud on the Earth when they first arrived. The Navajos may be referring to the period just after the destruction of Lucifer-Maldek when they say there was `darkness on the Earth' and the only light their ancestors had was the light from a great 'comet' that was supposed to be a 'campfire' of a god. After the planet Lucifer-Maldek exploded a large portion of it, or a great meteoric fragment, headed for the Earth and divided into smaller fragments, which were called 'fiery flying serpents' by the ancients because as they watched them in the heavens approaching the Earth, they did, indeed, look like flaming dragons or snakes. The catastrophe of Lucifer-Maldek could have caused floods which produced the 'mud and scattered rocks' and could have caused the `darkness on the Earth', and the great `comet' or `campfire' of a god could easily refer to the enormous meteoric fragment seen in the skies of Earth. Of course, originally, the ancestors of the Navajos knew perfectly well what was taking place, but later generations did not understand the ancient happenings and the legends now are interpreted in the light of 'gods' and 'rain', and even the visitant Bakochiddy became a `blond god'. However, the very fact that the Navajos say all this took place 3,000 years ago is amazing, for we find that such occurrences were taking place on Earth in 1233 B.C. that exactly fit the Navajo legendary accounts.

Another indication that the Navajos arrived on Earth during the time of the Exodus and the destruction of Lucifer-Maldek, is the fact that their legends say that Bakochiddy traveled to a place known as the `red earth' which was on the planet Earth; the god noticed the ground was red all around. In Other Tongues--Other Flesh, I said: 'One of the first visible signs on Earth of the destruction of Maldek was the reddening of the Earth's surface by a fine dust of rusty pigment.'

The `star' with a great 'fire tail' that was seen by the ancestors of the Navajo people in the centre of 'white mountain' could refer to space craft, but it more likely refers to the `comet' spoken of above which was a meteoric fragment headed for the Earth. Its position in the heavens might make it appear to be in the 'centre' of `white mountain'.

Other indications of UFO force fields might be found in the references to the 'lightning and the rainbow' being placed over the lodge of the gods, for they `arched over' the lodge.

The home of the gods that was a 'white mountain' which went `up and down' and emitted 'black, dark smoke and flames of fire' sounds like a gigantic space craft.

Bakochiddy told the Navajos that they should hold the mountains sacred and he lived on top of one of the mountains for a while himself. Different gods are said to have lived inside the mountains. There is a similarity here with the African legends that speak of 'tall people' living inside of Mount Kilimanjaro, and the Hopi legends of the Kachinas who live in the San Francisco Mountain (also a sacred mountain of the Navajos).

Evidently, the Navajos accept the fact that beings like themselves live on other worlds in space. This is clearly indicated by the fact that one of their important gods placed human life or beings on all celestial bodies so they would be inhabited like the Earth. Also, when the Navajos describe other planets by calling them `points of life' there can be no question that they accept life on other worlds, and life forms like their own.

The reference to the 'white, yellow and black children' who 'grew up to be young men' and were to teach the Navajos 'many different things' may indicate that after the Navajos arrived on the Earth they were instructed by the people of other races.

The Yaitso, or giants, sound like the giant men we have already mentioned as existing in different parts of the world in ancient times. The 'one-eyed' giants may have been the 'El's'! Since giants once lived near what is now Laguna, New Mexico, we find that they are somehow connected with Mount Taylor which is only about twenty miles from the legendary home of the giants.

Since the Navajos do not know if Tsenahala was really a bird or not, it is possible that this 'creature with great wings' that lived on top of 'Ship Rock' in New Mexico, represents a UFO that landed on this rock in the ancient past. But is that the real explanation? It could be, but what if Tsenahala really was an 'immense bird with wings' like some fantastic pterodactyl or flying reptile out of the remote Jurassic Period?

Again we find our old pattern of 'strange beings', 'high places', fault lines, and space ships.

The gods and the giants are the 'strange beings', the Four Sacred Mountains of the Navajos are the `high places', traveling by the 'light of the rainbow', and Bakochiddy of the sky is related to the space ships, and there is the same great fault line that goes through the area of the San Francisco Peaks.

The legends of the Navajo people speak of a dim yesterday in the same way that the `myths' of other Indian tribes relate their shadowy beginnings. However, the Navajos like their neighbors, speak of today and tomorrow, for there have been numerous sightings of UFOs in recent years as these craft hovered over their Four Sacred Mountains. Sightings have been especially frequent over the San Francisco Peaks and Navajo Mountain. One time a large UFO came close to the Earth and many Navajos ran out to greet it, but it started to rise and rapidly disappeared in the sky. The Indians were in no way frightened by this strange craft-on the contrary. When they were questioned about their running out to it, they said : 'We were not afraid of that object, for there are people in those flying "lights", and those are the people our legends tell us we are waiting for'! The road in the sky of yesterday is active again today!

These are just a few of the stories that have been passed down from generation to generation among the native people of North America. I have heard many more. Some I believe I understand, others, I know I do not understand. I have heard them around the campfires and around the Trading Posts of the American Southwest, and I have heard from the lips of my Navajo friends the fact that they are waiting, waiting, waiting, for those friendly people who travel by the `light of the rainbow'.

The Indian people have really been guilty of only one sin, they had possessions that the white man coveted, and they moved away towards the west and the setting sun to give up their homes to their white brother. But `as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west', `... The pale and the red shall be brothers, One's rights shall be as another's...' The 'points of life' in interstellar space smile upon the Red Man from the other side of the sky and promise him a new life in a brighter tomorrow.
