The Motee Sinom, the North American indigenous nations, made a brilliant selection by choosing to speak about the important topics of the ice age, sustainability and climate change on their closing speech for the United Nations' General Assembly's day for the world's indigenous nations (the Group B of Nations).

 
First Nations asserted themselves extremely strongly as the original occupants and custodians of North America who have their own distinct perspective from their tribal histories to challenge the Western version of what took place in huge North American continent during the pre-European times.

The North American Indigenous Nations, First Nations', universal condemnation of the Western Group of Nations (the Group A of Nations) false notions about the ice age and expectations of climate change to the United Nations General Assembly in 1992 points out to:

(I) their insatiable obsession about need for constant economic growth, and, 

(II) their tolerance of environmental degradation and climate change based on the false idea of time claiming that there is 'nothing to worry about' the present man-made global warming as the remaining ice sheets will always take countless millennia to melt away. No worries, really?

The idea that North America's Laurentide Ice sheet melted excruciatingly slowly, peacefully in situ - into oblivion, is based on the Western Group of Nations (Group A) self-imposed belief that when the ice age ended it took over 15,000 years for the North America's ice sheet to melt away. First Nations (Group B), tribal historians say this view is utterly untrue.

Please find the closing remarks of The United Nations General Assembly Meeting both encouraging and stimulating whilst we at FIPC are trying to raise awareness on the risk of a sudden Greenland ice sheet land containment failure in a post-sea ice Arctic Ocean and ice-free North Pole. We need your help and prayers and rain dance and whatever on the table of the United Nations to wake the House of Mica up and make the world community of nations arise to the challenges of the paleofuture risks as expressed aptly to UNGA 101292.

With kind regards,

The below presentation by His Honourable late Thomas Banyacya, the final speaker, was preceded by His Honourable Oren Lyons of the Six Nations who fully endorsed and introduced His Honourable Thomas Banyacya's presentation on behalf of First Nations:

THE UNITED NATIONS GENERAL ASSEMBLY MEETING

December 10, 1992

An Address by Thomas Banyacya, Kykotsmovi, Arizona:

"FIRST NATIONS HISTORY OF THE PRE-EUROPEAN NORTH AMERICA"

Hopi in our language means a peaceful, kind, gentle, truthful people. In 1948, all traditional Hopi spiritual leaders met and spoke of things I felt strongly were of great importance to all people. They selected four interpreters to carry their message of which I am the only one still living today. 

My mission was to open the doors of this Great House of Mica to native peoples. I am bringing part of the Hopi message to you here today. We have only ten minutes to speak and time is late so I am making my statement short. 

"THE FIRST AMERINDIAN DIASPORA - THE AGE BEFORE THE ONSET OF GLACIATION"

At the meeting in 1948, Hopi leaders 80, 90 and even 100 years old explained that the creator made the first world in perfect balance where humans spoke one language, but humans turned away from moral and spiritual principles. 

Eventually the world was destroyed by sinking of land and separation of land by what you would call major earthquakes. Many died and only a small handful survived. 

"THE SECOND AMERINDIAN DIASPORA - SURVIVING THE AGE OF GLACIATION"

Then this handful of peaceful people came into the second world. They repeated their mistakes and the world was destroyed by freezing which you call the great Ice Age. 

"THE THIRD AMERINDIAN DIASPORA - SURVIVING THE END OF ICE AGE AND ERA OF SEA LEVEL RISES"

The few survivors entered the third world. That world lasted a long time and as in previous worlds, the people spoke one language. They gradually turned away from natural laws and pursued only material things and finally only gambled while they ridiculed spiritual principles. No one stopped them from this course and the world was destroyed by the great flood that many nations still recall in their ancient history or in their religions. 

"THE FOURTH AMERINDEAN DIASPORA - ARRIVING TO AGE OF STABLE CLIMATE AND SEA LEVEL"

The Elders said again only small groups escaped and came to this fourth world where we now live. Our world is in terrible shape again even though the Great Spirit gave us different languages and sent us to four corners of the world and told us to take care the the Earth and all that is in it. 

"THE PRESENT-DAY'S ONGOING CULTURAL & PHYSICAL GENOCIDE / DISCRIMINATION OF FIRST NATIONS"

In this western hemisphere, our homeland, many original native people are landless, homeless, starving and have no medical help. 

"THE FIFTH AMERINDIAN DIASPORA - FINAL AGE OF PROPHESY ROCK 

THE END OF THE VERY LONG WAIT: SEA LEVEL RETURNS TO PRE-GLACIATION LEVELS"

The Hopi knew humans would develop many powerful technologies that would be abused. 

This is now a time to weigh the choices for our future. That's why the spiritual Elders stress strongly that the United Nations fully open the door for native spiritual leaders as soon as possible. 

Nature itself does not speak with a voice that we can easily understand. Neither can the animals and birds we are threatening with extinction talk to us. Who in this world can speak for nature and the spiritual energy that creates and flows through all life?

In every continent are human beings who are like you but who have not separated themselves from the land and from nature. It is through their voice that Nature can speak to us. You have heard those voices and many messages from the four corners of the world today. 

The native peoples of the world have seen and spoken to you about the destruction of their lives and homelands, the ruination of nature and the desecration of their sacred sites. It is time the United Nations used its rules to investigate these occurrences and stop them now. 

The United Nations talks about human rights, equality and justice and yet the native people have never had a real opportunity to speak to this assembly since its establishment until today. 

It should be the mission of your nations and this assembly to use your power and rules to examine and work to cure the damage people have done to this Earth and to each other. Hopi Elders know that was your mission and they wait to see whether you will act on it now. 

Nature, the First People and the spirit of our ancestors are giving you loud warnings. Today, December 10, 1992, you see increasing floods, more damaging hurricanes, hail storms, climate changes and earthquakes as our prophesies said would come. 

If we humans do not wake up to the warnings, the great purification will come to destroy this world just as the previous worlds were destroyed. 

Its up to all of us, as children of Mother Earth, to clean up this mess before it's too late. 

"WORLD INDIGENOUS NATIONS' INVESTIGATION REQUEST TO THE UN'S GENERAL ASSEMBLY"

The Elders request that during this International Year for the Worlds Indigenous Peoples, the United Nations keep that door open for spiritual leaders from the four corners of the world to come to speak to you for more than a few minutes as soon as possible. The Elders also request that eight investigative teams visit the native areas of the world to observe and tell the truth about what is being done and stop these nations from moving in this self-destructive direction. 

I hope that all members of this assembly that know the spiritual way will not just talk about it, but in order to have real peace and harmony, will follow what it says across the United Nations wall: 'They will beat their swords into ploughshares and study war no more.' Let’s, together, do that now!
