Gospel of the Great Spirit ~ A book on CD - a collection of American Indian legends which support for the claims of the Book of Mormon, as a testament of Jesus Christ , and the Bible.
________________________________________________________ (Joseph
Smith was a prophet of our Lord, Jesus Christ.)
________________________________________________________________________________ The white man has hated us and shed our blood, until it has appeared as though there would soon be no Indians left. We have walked with the Great Spirit, and the Great Spirit has talked with us. We have asked the Great Spirit o save us and let us live; and the Great Spirit has told us that he had raised up a great Prophet, chief, and friend, who would do us great good and tell us what to do; and the Great Spirit has told us that you are the man (pointing to the Prophet Joseph). We have now come a great way to see you, and hear your words, and to have you tell us what to do. Our horses have become poor travelling, and we are hungry. We will now wait and hear your words." The Spirit of God rested upon the Lamanites, especially [upon] the orator. Joseph was much affected and shed tears. He arose and said unto them, "I have heard your words. They are true. The Great Spirit has told you the truth. I am your friend and brother, and I wish to do you good. Your fathers were once a great people. They worshipped the Great Spirit. The Great Spirit did them good. He was their friend; but they left the Great Spirit, and would not hear his words or keep them. The Great Spirit left them, and they began to kill one another. They have been poor and afflicted until now. The Great Spirit has given me a book, and told me that you will soon be blessed again. The Great Spirit will soon begin to talk with you and your children. This is the book which your fathers made. I wrote upon it (showing them the Book of Mormon). This tells me what you will have to do. I now want you to begin to pray to the Great Spirit. I want you to make peace with one another, and do not kill any more Indians; it is not good. Do not kill white men; it is not good; but ask the Great Spirit for what you want; and it will not be long before the Great Spirit will bless you; and you will cultivate the earth and build good houses, like white men. We will give you something to eat and [something] to take home with you." When the Prophet's words were interpreted to the chiefs, they all said it was good. The chief asked, "How many moons it would be before the Great Spirit would bless them?" He [the Prophet] told them, "Not a great many." At the close of the interview, Joseph had an ox killed for them, and they were furnished with some more horses, and they went home satisfied and contented. )Millennial Star; Saturday, October 1, 1859, No. 40., Vol. XXI., pp. 634-635).

From
the Preface... AMERICAN INDIAN RELIGIOUS HERITAGE. Religion is mankind's
response to the Creator. There is mystery in all religions and stories
that present a cultural history of every people. Because of our basic belief
in God, we allow all men and women freedom of religion, a fundamental right
guaranteed by the Constitution of the United States of America. This right
is guaranteed to all Americans, including the Native American people.

several of the Twelve met those chiefs in the Court-room, with about thirty
of the Elders. The following is a synopsis of the conversation which took
place as given by the interpreter:

all his friends. Answer - "Yes."
