POPSBright Days and Dark Days The Great Spirit created the world in which all mankind lived in peace and harmony at one time, the polititions of Canada and the United States do not believe in the Great Spirit, oh they say these believe in God, but look at what they do, can anyone who does the things they do in the name of the people they are supposed to represent or do the evil they inflict upon the people of the earth, the indigenous Peoples of Turtle Island, believe in God.
