Journeys Around The World
Stories of Five Cross-Cultural Experiences
Ojibway elders have passed down the prophecies of the seven fires made many years ago. These prophecies (or Fires) came during a time of peace to people living in the north eastern coast of North America. Each of these referred to an era that would come in the future.
The first prophet told the people that they would find new land on a “turtle-shaped island” that would mark the start of the journey. He warned that if the people did not move, they would be destroyed.
