I consider this to be one the most important prophecies of wisdom and truths that I have ever been privileged to hear & read.., so I am ..again...sharing it with you a second time.., in hopes that many more of our young people ...and our Elders...will read and listen to it many times over.. and understand the words of wisdom ..and the warnings... *And the need to share the truths, for the next generation..
My previous version incorporates both the original version and some correlations and theories of where the locations were. You can find it in this playlist, if you want to read further..
This newer version just sticks with the original words of the Mishomis Book, with audio from Grandfather Commanda..
..and his grandaughter.., Elder Claudette Commanda.
Having the written words on the screen, as well as an audio running commentary, makes it easy for all people.., including those with hearing and visual disabilities, to follow along. Everyone in the world would benefit from an unbiased listen to this.
The following was asked to be read by Elder William Commanda at the Aboriginal Learning Network Constituency Meeting of Elders, policy makers, and academics on April 16th and 17th, 1997 in Aylner, Quebec.
The source for this story is The Mishomis book : the voice of the Ojibway by Edward Benton-Banai. Printed in St. Paul, Minn. Published by Indian Country Press, copyright 1979.

"Seven prophets came to the Anishinabe. They came at a time when the people were living a full and peaceful life on the North Eastern coast of North America. These prophets left the people with seven predictions of what the future would bring. Each of the prophecies was called a fire and each fire referred to a particular era of time that would come in the future. Thus, the teachings of the seven prophets are now called the "Seven Fires".
