Ellers, (Tlingit/Cherokee Tribes) author of the "Proclamation of Forgiveness"; Rev. Dewey Kirstein, III, (Cherokee) ordained with Goshen Ministries, Inc.; Rev. M. George Kallappa, Sr., (Makah Tribe), Superintendent of the American Indian Fellowship of the NW Ministry Network of the Assemblies of God; Chief G. Anne Richardson, Chief of the Rappahannock Tribe of the Powhatan Nations of Virginia; Mr. Ruben Barrales, Deputy Assistant to President Bush and Director of Intergovernmental Affairs; Rev. Linda S. Doxtator (Cherokee); Rev. Ivan Doxtator (Oneida of the Iroquois Confederacy); Bishop Glen W. Anniskette, (Tlingit Tribe), Bishop in Church of God, Cleveland, TN. Rev. G. Anne Richardson, Chief of the Rappahannock Tribe of the Powhatans is a group of eight state recognized tribes descending from those natives who first met Capt. John Smith in 1607, negotiated treaties with the King of England, and helped the first permanent English settlement survive in America. Rev. Ivan Doxtator is Oneida from the Iroquois Confederacy. The Oneida were the first allies ever of the United States. It was the Oneida warriors and their women that broke through British lines at Valley Forge and took supplies to George Washington and his troops. The Great Law of the Iroquois Confederacy was the model for the Declaration of Independence and the young American Government. The Iroquois were present in 1776 at the development and signing of this historic document. Therefore, as a representative of his tribe, Rev. Doxtator carries much authority in the heavenlies to release this forgiveness. History of the "Proclamation of Forgiveness": Dr. Flo Ellers was asked to be the Native American Indian Representative during the "2nd Washington for Jesus" rally in 1996 where 500,000 Christians from across the United States gathered at the Washington Mall in WA. D. C. to pray for this nation. As she was in prayer for her 10-minute time allotment to address the nation from the Washington Mall grounds, she was moved upon by the Holy Spirit and wrote under His inspiration the words to the "Proclamation of Forgiveness". [See attachment 2] Approximately a year ago, Flo once again sensed she was to try a second time to present the "Proclamation" to now elected President Bush. After nine years of trying to get a presidential appointment, Dr. Ellers, along with the help of State Senator Greenleaf of Pennsylvania got an appointment not with Pres. Bush but with his deputy assistant, Mr. Ruben Barrales, Director of Intergovernmental Affairs. The meeting was set for October 4, 2005, which fell on the Jewish holiday of Rosh HaShanah. She with her team of six other First Nations Christian leaders met with Mr. Barrales at 10am. Each team member was given five minutes to present their words for the President along with their Native gifts. Each member spoke with dignity as they made their presentations to Mr. Barrales as he respectfully listened to them and accepted each gift with grace. When Flo Ellers spoke, she stood up at the direction of the Lord and addressed Mr. Barrales with great honor. She thanked him for meeting with them and then said to him, "You are sitting in proxy for our nation's 'Chief' so I will address you as if you were the President of our nation. Our team represents the Native Christian community and we have come here to declare forgiveness on behalf of our people in the Name of Jesus." When Dr. Ellers read the "Proclamation of Forgiveness" she spoke with authority but began to lose composure as she got to the part in the Proclamation where it says in Paragraph Nine, "Instead you force-marched them onto reservations and all their dignity was stripped from them-all hope for a future was gone." But the last paragraph was delivered with renewed strength as she looked into the eyes of Mr. Barrales and asked, "We believe if you will ACCEPT this Proclamation of Forgiveness we will see and experience a mighty outpouring of God's Presence that will affect all of the United States and then we will truly be ONE NATION UNDER GOD." Flo then presented the properly framed document to Mr. Barrales who was visibly shaken by this prophetic act. His eyes were glistening with tears and he said, "Oh, you have had it framed for the President? I am impressed." He then asked her if he could give her a hug. Dr. Ellers then concluded her remarks by asking the group to hold hands as a symbol of their unity and Mr. Barrales grabbed her hand with great firmness as she prayed for President Bush to be released further into his godly destiny and for a deeper impartation of Godly wisdom for him; and for the grace and the peace of the Lord to be multiplied upon his life. She then declared, as a representative of the host people of this nation, that the curse be broken off this nation and asked the heavenly Father to roll back the reproach and to once again bless America. She rehearsed back to the Lord what His Word declares in John 20:21-23 which says, "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you. [and] if you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them." She declared with apostolic authority, "We now forgive the United States government for what they have done to us" and she asked the Lord to now release the goodness of the Lord upon America for the Word declares in Rom 2:4 that the ".goodness of the Lord leads to repentance" and concluded by asking the Lord of the Harvest to release laborers onto the reservations, the cities and upon the entire nation so that we might see a mighty revival in the land." The atmosphere was charged with the Presence of the Lord as Mr. Barrales responded by thanking each of us for our words and for the Proclamation. He asked us for our business cards and said he would be corresponding with us for future involvement. A new era has begun between the tribal governments and the government of the United States. For the group of seven Native Americans, it was a most moving moment forever etched in their memories for no other band of Indian Leaders have ever gone to the White House to address the Nation's Chief and say to him, "We forgive you for what you have done to us in the past!". Each leader presented his/her words and Native gifts but the greatest gift presented that day of Oct. 4th was the "gift of forgiveness". Heaven has declared this historic declaration and the fruit of it will be the salvation of many souls and who knows, perhaps it will help to release the third great awakening in our nation. [This PRESS RELEASE is not to be changed, added to or deleted without the express permission of Dr. Flo Ellers. You may contact her at floellers@comcast.net or phone her office: 360.532.0490.] After the meeting with Mr. Barrales, the team of seven was escorted to the "Treaty Room" on the fourth floor of the Eisenhower Building and they each prayed in their own way for the 372 broken treaties between the Red Man and the US Government. Truly a new era has begun in the relationship between these heads of nations.
