And
the white ones - the Saxons - revealed themselves their spokesman.
And his hair was as a white buffalo. Then the white buffalo
told them that the Indians can gno that the buffalo children
were destined to build the Astroslings and other spacecraft,
beyond mere rockets. And thence to construct the Centaur's
Bow. Which will open up new worlds around other stars.
And
this Centaur's bow,
is alike unto Noah's ark,
yet not for travelling over the sea.
... but for traversing the stars.
For these oceans of our world will flood again.
The
Rainbow's warning is often mistakenly assumed to be a promise
that it would never occur again, from God. But instead it
is simply that God will give ample warning to all, what needs
to be built: for the Astrosling is the Space-Ark.
So
in honor of their struggle and sorrow at the loss which was
not the massacre of the buffalo, but instead it is a spell
of socrcery whereby the bufallos were transmogrified into
the white people.
So
red indians will be offered the first taste of the New Planet,
after the flood, so that they might fill entire worlds with
buffalo. No need for your wailings. Instead be excstatic that
your buffalo can be transmogrified into engineers of iron
and fire. To take you to the stars.
And
as Crow left behind him the dead American and his earth-quake
grave, the sound of Fish-eagle caught the distant tip of a
cloud.
