These are all things Thomas predicted would happen back in 1992.
Dan Evehema (1893-1999, a member of the Greasewood/Roadrunner Clan from Hotevilla).
In 1995, Dan Evehema spoke his truths in a book called Hotevilla. He quoted the Creator, saying:
I have planned for the day when man forgets his purpose and goes against My laws. I have reserved the water, in the form of ice and snow, for My own use as a weapon for punishment to be applied when mankind gets out of control. This well be a Judgment Day. Mankind will no longer deserve to live on this land which I made for him. Afterward, I will regenerate the earth.
Evehama went on to say that two twins were placed on earth’s poles, Poqanghoya for weight and hardness and Palongawhoya for sound and vibration.
The twin gods were given the duty of keeping the world in proper rotation by sitting atop the water serpent and keeping the poles in a stable form of solidity. They must never release the serpent entirely, only a little now and then, in order to warn man of his recklessness and disobedience by letting natural catastrophes occur.
If mankind fails to heed the Creator’s wishes and goes beyond bounds, the water serpent will be released and the water will cover the earth and swallow us. That will be the end of this age as well as the beginning of a new age.
Our melting twin polar ice caps are giving us a warning, just like Dan predicted.
Oswald Fredericks (1905-1996, Coyote Clan, who was born in Oraibi but was never initiated nor participated in any Hopi ceremonies).
In 1960, Oswald Fredericks convinced Fredrick Howell, director of the Ulrick Foundation, to underwrite a history of the Hopi People. As a youth, Fredericks had been taken to Phoenix Indian School, transferred to the Haskell
Institute in Lawrence, Kansas, and then on to Muskogee, Oklahoma, before finally winding up
in New York City teaching boy scouts about Native American lore.
In 1950, Fredericks met a German woman named Naomi on a golf course and they got married. He loved to play golf. I became friends with both of them at the Hopi Cultural Center in the 1970s. Naomi was quite a character, not only wanting the largest eggs I could find but asking me to make her pancakes the size of the plate.
As Oswald was not a writer or researcher, he needed a writer to help him with his project. Howell and Fredericks hired Frank Waters (1902 - 1995), who had written many books about the Southwest and Native Americans and lived just north of Taos, New Mexico. He had many Native American friends and was known as having traveled by mule in search of the seven caves mentioned in the Mayan/Aztecs creation story Popul Vuh. Frank was convinced that these seven (Pupsovi) caves were one and the same with the seven caves believed to have given shelter to the Hopi upon their arrival to this the 4th world — Pamosi, Waki, Taiowa (near Mexico City), Pavati, Hopaqa, Wikima, and Alosaka (said to be located near Meteor Crater). And he tried to prove it.
Frank agreed to help, if Oswald would facilitate a meeting with the elders and translate what the elders had to say. He moved to New Oraibi, where Naomi charged him motel rates for a
Thomas Banyacya was selected in 1948 by the tribal elders as one of four Hopi spokespersons who were to reveal the Hopi message and teachings to the outside world (David Monongya, Dan Evehema, and Dan Qochhongva were the other three).

really, it becomes the preoccupation of your life. You are vested, invested, in the property and its success. And that investment extends to the community around you.
