The nine signs of the Hopi prophecy, as interpreted by White Feather and transmitted through the 20th century, describe the arrival of white people with "thunder-sticks" (guns), spinning wheels (wagons and cars), "snakes of iron" (railroads), and a "spider web" (power lines and the Internet). Other signs include concrete highways, oil spills, and the "hippy" movement, culminating in the crash of a "dwelling place in the heavens" (Skylab) and the appearance of the Blue Star Kachina, signaling the end of the Fourth World.
Here are the nine signs as commonly interpreted:
- White-skinned people and thunder-sticks: The arrival of white explorers and settlers with their firearms. (Rifles, pistols, guns - colonization)
- Spinning wheels with voices: Covered wagons, followed by whirring car tires and eventually telecommunication devices. (Wagon wheels sounds, car tire sounds or spinning records, CDs).
- Large beasts with long horns: Longhorn cattle brought by the settlers. (Cattle)
- Snakes of iron: The creation of railroad tracks across the land. (Railroads)
- A giant spider web: The crisscrossing network of telegraph, telephone, and power lines. (Telegraph, telehone poles, power lines, 5G Towers,)
- Rivers of stone that make pictures in the sun: Concrete highways and the mirages they create. (Streets, roads, highways)
- The ocean turns black: The Gulf oil spill of 2010.
- Young people with long hair seek old ways: The counter-culture movement of the 1960s and early 1970s.
- A dwelling place in the heavens crashes: The Skylab space station, which fell to Earth in 1979, appearing like a "brilliant blue star". (And now 3iAtlas)
The prophecy culminates with the appearance of the Blue Star Kachina, which is said to signal the purification and the beginning of the Fifth World, a time for those who live in harmony with nature to survive. It's important to note that the Blue Star Kachina prophecy's origins are sometimes debated, with some scholars linking it to the influence of American author Frank Waters and a Methodist pastor rather than purely ancient Hopi teachings.
