The First Migration: The Algonquian People

The Sons of Diklah: The Caddo Go Down Go Up
The Caddo indigenous people today comprise the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma which number about 6000, and is a federally recognized tribe that has its headquarters in Binger, Oklahoma. The language of this people is the Caddo language, which is critically endangered with only two speakers. Today, the Caddo people are closely related and connected with the Pawnee, Wichita, Kichai and Arikara, all of which are members of the Northern Caddoan tribe.
Homeland:
Originally, the homeland of the Caddo people spanned into areas of modern day Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas.
The Caddo were apart of the Caddo Confederacy which was composed of a network of indigenous people of the Southeast Woodlands, and ethnographic classification for Native Americans that share common cultural traits. Most of this confederacy are named as members of the Southern Caddoan tribe.
Caddoan Mounds site:
The Caddoan Mounds is a Mississippian Period mound site and an archaeological site which is located near Weeping Mary, Texas. The mound site is composed of a village and ceremonial center featuring two earthwork platform mounts and one burial mound. Archaeologist believe the site to have been created about 800 CE, with most of the major construction taking place between 1100 CE and 1300 CE.
This mound site is located on an ancient Native American trail later named by the Spanish as the El Camino Real de Los Tejas. However, the Caddoan settlement developed hundred of years prior to the arrival of the Europeans to the region.
The Ghost dance:
The Ghost Damce (Caddo: Nanissaanah) is a ceremony incorporated into numerous indigenous people belief systems. According to the teaching of the Northern Paiute spiritual leader Wovoka, his prophecy in 1890 was that proper practice of the dance would reunite the living with spirits of the dead, bring the spirits to fight on their behalf, end American Westward expansion, and bring peace, prosperity and unity to the native American people throughout the region.
The Ghost Dance is a traditional Native American circle dance done by many who would form a circle for the dance. This dance originated with the Nevada Northern Paiute in 1889 and spread throughout much of the western United States, quickly reaching areas in California and Oklahoma.
Did the Ghost Dance Work for the Native Americans?
Well, first and foremost, stopping the western expansion of the European settlers did not work at all, in fact, most all of the indigenous people were uprooted from their homelands and moved to locations at the whim of the government of the white settlers. It is true that some of the indigenous people were allowed to live in their original homeland but much of it or sometime nearly all of that homeland was confiscated by the white settlers as the great white expansion continued westward.
As for the prophecy about peace, prosperity and unity for the indigenous people, that too never was fulfilled because in all of my travels throughout the North America continent, many of the indigenous people live in hovel like dwellings and most in total poverty.

Is there an Alternative Prophecy that will be fulfilled?
Yes, and it has been available for anyone to receive, not just the indigenous people but, blacks, browns, reds, whites, and yellow people, all of them. What is it that will work and where does it come from.
God′s Kingdom
Yes, Jehovah God, the most High God over the Earth (Psalms 83:18), had made arrangement for a kingdom by rule of his son, Jesus Christ, to bring peace, prosperity and unity to all people living upon the Earth.
Understandably, most likely feel that any hope is too good to be true. So, why are the promises stated within the Bible reliable and are they different from any man, chief, politician, or otherwise. In the next two paragraphs, the Bible will show two areas where we all can have hope for the future.
Jehovah God is Trustworthy
At Titus 1:2, the Bible says that God Cannot Lie. There, Paul wrote these words to his friend, Titus and said to him: "In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began."
So, not only did God promise a better future, he has the ability to foretell the future. This is recorded at Isaiah 46 where God said: "9. I am God, and there is none else, I am God and there is none like me, 10. Declaring the end from the beginning and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall Stand, and I will do all my pleasure" (Isaiah 46:9-10)
Jehovah God has the Power
Again, the Bible tells us that God has the power to do everything that he pleases to do. At Pslams 135, the psalmist confesses: "5 For I know that the LORD is great, and that our Lord is above all gods. 6 Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did he in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places." (Psalms 135: 5 , 6)
You may have asked yourself: "If the above verses do means that God really wants to help us, and he lacks no ability nor the power to help us, then why are the people on the Earth experiencing so much suffering and grief?"
Think about the following! The most high God can do what ever he needs to do in order to help His People here on Earth? However, only the following question remains: Who today are the People of God?
