June 15, 1998: Hopi Elders Speak - Robert Ghost Wolf
Published 2 years ago
Description
Art Bell broadcasts what he calls a first in national radio history as two Hopi elders from the Hopi Sinome join the program from Phoenix, Arizona, with Robert Ghost Wolf participating from the Black Hills of South Dakota. The elders' identities are concealed due to threats they have received for sharing these prophecies publicly. Grandfather One speaks in Hopi while Grandfather Two translates, explaining that ancient teachings passed down through careful oral tradition in the kivas have compelled them to come forward.
The elders warn that three major events are approaching in close succession: extreme weather changes destroying crops, widespread starvation, and a third world war connected to what they call the purifier. Grandfather One states the weather disruptions now visible are the first signs, noting that crops on Hopi land were planted late and are being burned by erratic winds and frost. He places these events near the year 2000, describing them as a domino effect where each catastrophe triggers the next.
Grandmother Hopi joins briefly to address the crisis among children, attributing it to mothers too busy working to teach spiritual values at home. The elders describe a coming purification after which the world will return to a state of harmony and simplicity. They emphasize that while prayer can lessen the severity of what approaches, it is already too late to prevent the changes entirely.
