82 THE HIDDEN HERITAGE
History has unveiled many battles and
many wars. In this era, we can look back
through the pages of time like changing
channels on the TV. Yes, there have been
some terrible wars. Yes, there has been much
destruction. Yes, some wars have engaged
the entire world.
But those conflicts were over human
supremacy—which king or which governing
entity would rule the masses and control the
bounty of earth. Who would be the master
over all of the people and who would control
the wealth. Whose gnarled dreams would be
unleashed at which time in history to make
an indelible mark urged through vanity.
In these conflicts mother earth was treated as a woman slave. She had to yield the
materials that were needed to continue the
conflagration. She had to yield the waters for
the thirsty battalions. She had to yield fruit
and food to feed the armies that marched.
She had to provide the medicine to heal the
wounded. She had to provide the bounty
that was the crown for the victor!
These are new times. The whole earth is
threatened with extinction. No longer is it acceptable for human beings to contend for the
supreme pinnacle of the various societies of
earth; from this moment forward there must
be a battle, there must be an intense war.
But this time for the salvaging of earth.
This time to see whether or not there will be
only a “moon” left here one day after all of
the products are used up, after the balance
of existence has turned for the worse, and
after vanity has led us down a time-path that
has an absolute expiration date (and, before
we discover that my dream of Grandfather
was simply that).
Yes, Grandfather’s story is only an Indian story. But it is a story with evidence—the
moon. It is a story that has endured time and
maintains its direction and its solemn concern. There is a moon—there is also Mis
Misa. Not once have I encountered a refer:

and “progressives” plot the future of dev

see Akoo-Yet as a piece of valuable real eg: 7

many more seasons can these mistakes find
pardon within nature?
