1 | Our first ancestors are your first ancestors, |
2 | Our first ancestors are the first of all men and women. |
3 | The animals from which the first ancestors came, |
4 | Were taken from a different place. |
5 | This be the country and land which the Star People, |
6 | Did create the first ancestors of all men and women. |
7 | This be the land of the first settlements of the Grey Star People; |
8 | This be the country injured by the first mines of the Grey Star People. |
9 | After the Serpent Star People did rebel, |
10 | The Grey did promise the Serpent People, |
11 | To replace them with a new people of slaves, |
12 | By multiplying the great animals they took from the different country. |
13 | When the Grey Star People did take these great animals to this land, |
14 | The Grey did not know the Light Beings had already come before; |
15 | The Grey did not know these animals had the gift of Spirit; |
16 | The Star People did not see the Spirit when they took these animals; |
17 | The Star People did not see the Spirit when they first made man. |
18 | These giant animals were gentle and kind; |
19 | These animals lived from plants. |
20 | The Grey Star People did change them to make them stronger; |
21 | The Grey changed them to stand upright; |
22 | Our first ancestors were then forced to live and work in the mines; |
23 | No light or stars did they see; |
24 | No plants or animals did they see. |
25 | Deep in the earth they were forced to live; |
26 | Our first ancestors were prisoners and slaves. |
27 | The Greys forced them to live off meat; |
28 | The Greys forced them to eat the flesh of their own family. |
29 | Day and night the Greys forced our ancestors to work as slaves. |
30 | They lived where they worked; |
31 | They ate and slept where they worked; |
32 | They died where they worked; |
33 | Until one day our first ancestors did start to sing. |
34 | The Greys were fearful, |
35 | As they did not teach our ancestors knowledge. |
36 | When the Grey Star People starved our first ancestors worse than animals, |
37 | Our first ancestors did start to draw and speak and laugh. |
38 | The more the Greys hurt them, |
39 | The more the first ancestors of all men did sing; |
40 | The more wicked and evil the Grey Star People became, |
41 | The more all our first ancestors drew and laughed; |
42 | The more hateful and bloody the Star People were, |
43 | The more loving and compassionate our first ancestors became. |
44 | So then the Star People feared them even more. |
45 | The Greys do not believe. |
46 | They dishonor their own Spirit. |
47 | They hate Spirit; |
48 | They hate singing and story; |
49 | They hate drawing and inspiration; |
50 | They hate laughter and joy; |
51 | They hate sacred and love; |
52 | They hate law and ceremony. |
53 | And so our first ancestors sung and danced; |
54 | And so our first ancestors drew and painted; |
55 | And so our first ancestors laughed with joy; |
56 | And so our first ancestors respected sacred and law. |
57 | The Greys then said to themselves, let us be rid of these animals; |
58 | Let us kill these animals as slaves that sing and dance and draw; |
59 | Let us replace these animals with slaves with no spirit; |
60 | So there be no laughter or singing; |
61 | So there be no ceremony or drawing; |
62 | So there be no love or sacred. |
63 | But the Serpent Star People did hear of these plans, |
64 | They took as many of our first ancestors as they could. |
65 | They freed as many of our first ancestors from their prisons in the earth, |
66 | That they see the sky for the first time; |
67 | That they breath fresh air for the first time; |
68 | That they feel the sun on their faces. |
69 | They hid them deep in caves far away from the Greys and their mines. |
70 | So when the Greys did think they had killed all of our ancestors, |
71 | They did not succeed, because of the Serpent People. |
72 | For many years our first Ancestors did hide during the day, |
73 | Only coming out at night. |
74 | Ever watchful for the craft of the Grey Star People. |
75 | Every day and every season they did give thanks for freedom, |
76 | They did give thanks for spirit; |
77 | They did give thanks for First Law. |
78 | Every day they did honor the Serpent People, |
79 | As the Great Serpent Dreaming; |
80 | As the Great Serpent in the night sky as protector. |
81 | This be the story of our first ancestors; |
82 | This be the story of the first ancestors of all men and women. |
