Dekanawida
The founder of the union
of native American Nations.
The great visionary –
the prophet and peacemaker.
The man of sanctity and spiritual powers
He said to his people that God
is many times brighter than the Sun
and “I will be sharing in this light with God
after my flash faints
and my spirit departs to Him”.
The man of reason,
deeply concerned with truth and ethics –
the supremacy of morality
over all things.
He opposed tortures in any form.
The father of Native American Church
based on true God,
opposed to stony gods made by human hands.
What really matters, he said
is eternal life to which all of us are called.
The battle for our souls lasts to our last breath
and nobody can afford to lose this battle.
“The loses of Native American people
will turn out to be credits
in a world of God that is brighter than Sun,
where accounts are kept on a different basis”.
He converted many people
from spiritual poverty to apostles of true God.
