When the red man crossed over into [[America]], he brought along much of the teachings and [[tradition]]s of his early origin. His immediate ancestors had been in touch with the later activities of the world headquarters of the [[Planetary Prince]]. But in a short time after reaching the Americas, the red men began to lose sight of these teachings, and there occurred a great decline in [[intellectual]] and [[spiritual]] [[culture]]. Very soon these people again fell to fighting so fiercely among themselves that it appeared that these tribal wars would result in the speedy extinction of this remnant of the comparatively pure red race.
Because of this great retrogression the red men seemed doomed when, about sixty-five thousand years ago, '''Onamonalonton''' appeared as their leader and spiritual deliverer. He brought temporary peace among the American red men and revived their [[worship]] of the " Great Spirit.

As time passed, the teachings of Onamonalonton became hazy traditions. Internecine wars were resumed, and never after the days of this great teacher did another leader succeed in bringing [[universal]] [[peace]] among them. Increasingly the more intelligent strains perished in these tribal struggles; otherwise a great [[civilization]] would have been built upon the North American continent by these able and intelligent red men.
