Kamunipaw - the site of the World Trade Center

Interesting stuff from the old ways of our land -- the World Trade Center site was a key location long before 9/11 -- and long before anyone thought to put a Community Center nearby....


Kamunipaw - the site of the World Trade Center

"On September 11, 1609, the Half Moon anchored at the far landing of the great crossing place of the Tulpehoken (Turtle Island) Trail, where they were greeted by a great throng eager to trade. Hudson and others rowed to shore in their small boat and stepped onto Manhattan opposite Kamunipaw, which itself means “on the opposite side.”

"It was apparently an important spot for greeting and exchanging trading goods with foreigners. This was the site of the future World Trade Center, which fell exactly 392 years later, on the last day of the year following the end of the Seven Fire cycles. He presented the people of Turtle Island with a crossroads, a time of decision, as had been predicted so many centuries before.

"Those who knew of the prophecies greeted the Half Moon voyagers royally. Although the native people of New York did not generally share their prophecies with whites, some of them relating to Hudson were revealed in the letter from Munsee descendants to Zachary Taylor in 1849..."

1. According to the reckoning...last day of that first solar year...attack on Twin Towers

"According to this reckoning, the end of the Seven Fires cycle was September 11th, 2000, just before the American election which so divided the country. The most important of the “years of watching for signs and omens” began in earnest, for it would portend of what was to follow in what the prophets called “The Eighth Fire,” a possible period of time, possibly another 784 years, which could begin an era of peace and understanding, or the total destruction of all human life.

"On the last day of that first solar year was the attack on the Twin Towers."

2. So you think this is symbolic?

3. I think it's worthy of consideration

No one in Indian Country would ever advocate that anyone else believe anything. That would be regarded as ideological imperialism, an offense to free will. Folks just present information or opinions, and let other make of it what they will...

In Native cosmology, the teachings of the Seven Fires are widely respected. They have proved valid & nourishing over and over and over, to date.

So when Evan Pritchard comments on the location and timing of the WTC 9/11 event in the context of its the Seven Fires teaching, I'm inclined to pay attention, and give the ideas consideration.

Apparently there is much more to unfold, according the the oral tradition which has been handed down with impeccable care.

6. Looks like we're moving towards yet more destruction of human life!

Since time began, it seems, we've been trying to find a way to control

the few violent among us -- while they, seemingly, found a way to control

all of us!

4. Actually, it wouldn't be exactly 392 years later.

In 1752, Britain and its colonies changed over from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar, jumping from September 4 to September 14 of that year.

So it's at least 392 years and 11 days later. A minor quibble, to be sure.

5. You should write to the author, Evan P., and see what he says...

Be interested to read the response...

Onward....
