WE, the traditional leaders,
want you and the American people to know
that we will stand firmly upon our own traditional and religious grounds.
And that we will not bind ourselves to any foreign nation....
We have met all other rich and powerful nations who have come to our shores,
from the early Spanish Conquistadors
down to the present government of the United States,
all of whom have used force in trying to wipe out our existence here in our own home.
We want to come to our own destiny in our own way.
---Hopi Delegation---


My People,
let me give you words of counsel.
As we know, it has been foretold,
the day would arrive when a new people would come among us.
They would bring to us their religions and encourge us to embrace them.
However, it cannot be that way.
We have been taught our own spiritual ways.
Our Father above prepared for us our own spiritual ways.
So listen, as I offer these words of counsel.
We must follow the teachings of our own spiritual ways,
as we walk down this road of life.
Listen and hear my words,
I have spoken.


So it will be,
the new people will entice us with their ways of life and their religion.
However, that is their way of life.
Our father above has prepared us a special spiritual way of life.
We are a chosen people.
I am Hopi.
