ESO4: The Future. Hopi prediction.
The Nine Signs of Hopi Prophecy (From White Feather, Bear Clan, Hopi Tribe)
The Fourth World shall end soon, and the Fifth
World will begin. This the elders everywhere know. The Signs over many years
have been fulfilled, and so few are left.
·
First Sign: We were told of the
coming of the white-skinned men, like Pahana, but not living like Pahana -- men
who took the land that was not theirs and who struck their enemies with
thunder.
·
Second Sign: Our lands will see
the coming of spinning wheels filled with voices.
·
Third Sign: A strange beast like a
buffalo but with great long horns, will overrun the land in large numbers.
·
Fourth Sign: The land will be
crossed by snakes of iron.
·
Fifth Sign: The land shall be
criss-crossed by a giant spider's web.
·
Sixth Sign: The land shall be
criss-crossed with rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun.
·
Seventh Sign: You will hear of the
sea turning black, and many living things dying because of it.
·
Eighth Sign: You will see many
youth, who wear their hair long like our people, come and join the tribal
nations, to learn our ways and wisdom.
·
Ninth and Last Sign: You will hear
of a dwelling-place in the heavens, above the earth, that shall fall with a
great crash. It will appear as a blue star. Very soon after this, the
ceremonies of the Hopi people will cease.
"These are the Signs that great
destruction is coming. The world shall rock to and fro. The white man will
battle against other people in other lands -- with those who possessed the
first light of wisdom. There will be many columns of smoke and fire such as
White Feather has seen the white man make in the deserts not far from here.
Only those which come will cause disease and a great dying.
"Many of my people, understanding the
prophecies, shall be safe. Those who stay and live in the places of my people
also shall be safe. Then there will be much to rebuild. And soon -- very soon
afterward -- Pahana will return. He shall bring with him the dawn of the Fifth
World. He shall plant the seeds of his wisdom in their hearts. Even now the
seeds are being planted. These shall smooth the way to the Emergence into the
Fifth World.
"But White Feather shall not see it. I am
old and dying. You -- perhaps will see it. In time, in time..."

ESO2: Paper Totem Poles
Here you have great ideas for our project on First Nations Totem Poles.
http://www.papertotempoles.com/
For the display we will draw the map the map where we can find the Firts Nations tribes that use to build and carve totem poles.
Each one of you will pick an animal and read about the spiritual value of it and legends attached to the animal.
We will draw the animal and the titem replica.
Then we will colour in our animal, cut it off and wrap it around an average toilet paper tube.
We can put one on top of another and recreate a legend or create our own!
Do you remember how many totem poles types can we find? (4 types)

ESO1: Hot and Cold... Sunny and rainy...
LISTEN AND READ!... (SING and DANCE!)
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Yeah you, PMS
Like a bitch
I would know
And you overthink
Always speak
Cryptically
I should know
That you're no good for me
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, You don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
We used to be
Just like twins
So in sync
The same energy
Now's a dead battery
Used to laugh bout nothing
Now your plain boring
I should know that
you're not gonna change
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You, You don't really want to stay, no
You, but you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in and you're out
You're up and you're down
Someone call the doctor
Got a case of a love bi-polar
Stuck on a roller coaster
Can't get off this ride
You change your mind
Like a girl changes clothes
Cause you're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down
You're wrong when it's right
It's black and it's white
We fight, we break up
We kiss, we make up
(you) You don't really want to stay, no
(but you) But you don't really want to go-o
You're hot then you're cold
You're yes then you're no
You're in then you're out
You're up then you're down, down...
Talking about temperatures... here you have HOT AND COLD by Katie Perry...
And do you know what happens when it's SUNNY and RAINING at the same time? The next song will tell you ;)
