[Synopsis]
The Hopi, an indigenous people who live a traditional way of life in the deserts of Southwest of North America. The Hopi ancestors were given a tablet by the Great Spirit with a prophetic message inscribed on it and scattered to the four corners of the world. They were charged with the mission to bring harmony and calm the turmoil that would eventually occur in the last days of this civilization. ...... These areas were also “national sacrifice zones”, subjected to more than 400 years of violence of land occupation, nuclear development and mining of underground resources. The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki was a sign, and a messenger was chosen from Hopi to deliver the prophecy to the world.
