The fourth prophet was given to the people by a twin spirit, two prophets of one body. They spoke as one and the first said,
"You will know the future of our people by the face the light skinned race wears. If they come wearing the face of neekonnisiwin (brotherhood) then there will come a time of wonderful change for generations to come. They will bring new knowledge and articles that can be joined with the knowledge of this country. In this way, two nations will join to make a mighty nation. This new nation will be joined by two more so that four will form the mightiest nation of all. You will know the face of the brotherhood if the light skinned race comes carrying no weapons, if they come bearing only their knowledge and a hand shake."
The other one said,
"Beware if the light skinned race comes wearing the face of death. You must be careful because the face of brotherhood and the face of death look very much alike. If they come carrying a weapon ... beware. If they come in suffering ... They could fool you. Their hearts may be filled with greed for the riches of this land. If they are indeed your brothers, let them prove it. Do not accept them in total trust. You shall know that the face they wear is one of death if the rivers run with poison and fish become unfit to eat. You shall know them by these many things."
In the time of this fire, the wemitigoozhiimo (wooden-boat people), the French, arrived. They traded with us, and initial contact was actually quite friendly, but then the Zhaaganaash (off-shore ones) the British, arrived. To be followed by Gichi-mookomaan (big-knives) the Americans. Many nations did indeed become one nation, the mightiest of all...
