The Next 5 Months, and the Next 500 Years
The Next Five Months and the Next 500 Years
November 19th, 2005

By Steven McFadden

I had the edification of sharing lunch this week with Hosteen Leon Secatero. We sat down together during an honoring ceremony held at the Albuquerque Museum in New Mexico.

Leon, an elder from the Canoncito Band of the Navajo, talked with me about the next 500 years, and also about the next five months.

Our conversation was sparked by the recent pronouncements of Sydney Has No Horses, a Lakota Medicine Man. Mr. Has No Horses spoke on October 17, 2005 to a tribal council meeting on the Cheyenne River Reservation in Eagle Butte, South Dakota.

According to widely disseminated internet postings, at that meeting Mr. Has No Horses declared “within six months, we are going to be living in a hell of a world.” He told of visions that warned about a tsunami hitting the West Coast, about Yellowstone’s Super Volcano erupting, about mammoth storms and earthquakes that would strike, about a meteor that would smash into the earth, and more.

1. I have done a lot of research on my own
and since the late 70's there has been talk of earth changes. In fact Edgar Cayce also discussed these possibilities. I am intrigued and fascinated by these ideas.

2. Eagle Butte
I live in Eagle Butte.

I was not there when Mr. Has No Horses made his presentation, but I can verify that a copy of his remarks made the rounds in Eagle Butte during the next few days. The text stated that Mr. Has No Horses was in the process of making similar presentations before any tribal council that would hear him out. I am therefore curious as to why you single out the presentation at Eagle Butte, particularly since Mr. Has No Horses is Oglala rather than a Minnecoujou, Itazipco, Oohenumpa, or Siha Sapa (the four bands of the Cheyenne River Reservation).

As to Mr. Has No Horses remarks, well, there is no refuting them--at least not for another five months.

They remain, however, in the nature of a divine revelation, and therefore somewhat suspect. That said, I give them far more credence that the continual "Final Predictions" headlines on the tabloids (they could make those true if they truly wanted--all they would have to do is shut up, but their commercial purpose would be defeated.

Mr. Has No Horses, at least, appears to have no commercial purpose, and the good Lord knows the conditions are such that it could happen--just look who has the "football".

3. I have heard of dire predictions for years now
I know some Maya have come to my area because it is considered a relative safe place to be. So it isn't just Lakota who are seeing visions of earth changes starting soon.

4. Wow
Since these are the first doomsday predictions in the history of man, we should take them seriously, eh?

5. From a Ghost Dance chant, Cheyenne, c. 1890:
The white man's god
has forsaken him --
Let us go
and look for our Mother.

6. Also check out this book -- "Legend of the Rainbow Warriors"
http://www.chiron-communications.com/legend.html



Legend of the Rainbow Warriors

Legend of the Rainbow Warriors is a journalist's account of one of the core myths of the Americas, and an electrifying exploration of how that myth is playing out in real time.


Excellent book. Tells much more about the commonality of many indigenous myths....
