| 1 | The fourth ancestors be the white people, |
| 2 | The third and final people created by the Grey Star People. |
| 3 | The people created to oppose the third ancestors; |
| 4 | To the third ancestors created by the Serpent Star People. |
| 5 | The Grey Star People did create the fourth ancestor, |
| 6 | From the second ancestor, |
| 7 | And from their own flesh and blood, |
| 8 | And from their own knowledge and history. |
| 9 | The Grey Star People created the fourth ancestor, |
| 10 | From the second ancestors, |
| 11 | The smaller men and women who they had trained to have no spirit; |
| 12 | The ones they had trained to be obedient without question; |
| 13 | The ones they trained to depend on civilization and gods; |
| 14 | The ones they trained to be obsessed in property and possessions. |
| 15 | The fourth ancestors were given the mind of the Grey Star People, |
| 16 | And the creation of a false spirit; |
| 17 | Instead of a love and respect of Spirit, |
| 18 | The fourth ancestors loved false spirit and corruption of spirit; |
| 19 | Instead of singing and story, |
| 20 | The fourth ancestors loved false praise and false story; |
| 21 | Instead of a love of life and rebirth; |
| 22 | The fourth ancestors feared death the most; |
| 23 | Instead of sacred and love, |
| 24 | The fourth ancestors loved unholy and hate; |
| 25 | Instead of a love of law and right ceremony |
| 26 | The fourth ancestors loved the corruption of law; |
| 27 | Instead of equality and family, |
| 28 | The fourth ancestors loved superiority and separation. |
| 29 | The Grey Star People cursed the white people. |
| 30 | The Grey Star People made the mind of the fourth ancestors, |
| 31 | A terrible prison of mind illness, |
| 32 | From which none were ever supposed to escape. |
| 33 | To hate and destroy the third ancestors, |
| 34 | To rule as if they themselves were the Greys; |
| 35 | To destroy all peoples that did not submit. |
| 36 | When it came time for the Grey Star People to leave, |
| 37 | They could not bear to destroy their creation. |
| 38 | For the first time, the Greys showed heart. |
| 39 | They took some of the fourth ancestors with them, |
| 40 | Leaving the rest to care for themselves. |
| 41 | Instead of being the great leaders, |
| 42 | The fourth ancestors became like wild animals, |
| 43 | They destroyed all knowledge; |
| 44 | They nearly destroyed all men and women, |
| 45 | Until the third ancestors appeared and saved them. |
| 46 | To defy the will of the Greys, |
| 47 | The third ancestors bred with the fourth ancestors; |
| 48 | That there be only one sacred family of leaders. |
| 49 | But some of the other people did not agree. |
| 50 | They did argue and fight for power and control, |
| 51 | So great wars and death have come like waves of drought and flood; |
| 52 | Lands have been invaded and civilizations destroyed; |
| 53 | Tribes have been scattered; |
| 54 | Sacred Sanctuary has been desecrated; |
| 55 | Until one of the sacred family of ancients, |
| 56 | Whose name means sacred spear, |
| 57 | And sacred foundation stone of spirit, |
| 58 | Was awoken by the spirits of this Land, |
| 59 | To be tested so that he know right custom; |
| 60 | To remember the knowledge of the ancestors, |
| 61 | To be a messenger of the Great Spirits to the elders, |
| 62 | And help restore First Law; |
| 63 | To be a messenger of the ancestors to country, |
| 64 | And help restore Second Law; |
| 65 | To be a messenger of the Third Law of Yapa. |
| 66 | And help heal and unite the people. |
