The red race, a most intelligent group, was a remarkable specimen of the human race, superior to Andon and Fonta, developing a tribal civilization and government, always monogamous, with mixed descendants seldom practicing plural mating. [1] The red race, in touch with activities of Planetary Prince, held Dalamatia revelation longest. [2]
The red race's early invention of the bow and arrow aided them in conflicts with their yellow brethren in Asia, but internal fighting weakened them, leading to their expulsion from the Asiatic continent. [3]
The red and yellow races achieved high civilization apart from Andites, with notable cultures in California, Mexico, Central America, and South America. [4] The red race dominated eastern Asia for 100,000 years before the arrival of yellow tribes. [5] The red race was isolated in 15,000 B.C., remaining virtually untouched until the first millennium of the Christian era. [6] The red race had little contact with other races until about one thousand years ago when the white man landed on the Atlantic coast. [7] Jesus contacted all races during his world travels, except the red one, bringing hope and eternal life to all. [8]
Onamonalonton, the red man's leader who directed their worship to 'The Great Spirit', was supported by 24 counselors. [9]
Onamonalonton, the spiritual deliverer of the red race, brought temporary peace and revival of worship among the red men, living to ninety-six years old among the redwood trees in California, saving them from doom. [10] Rantowoc was the first in the red race to receive the guardian of destiny. [11] Tenskwatawa, a true prophet, denounced shamanism and exposed the vices of the white man, predicting the eclipse of the sun in 1806. [12]
The red race exterminated the mastodon in North America. [13]
The red race believed in the power of mimicry and imitative magic, demonstrated through the buffalo dance to ensure success in the hunt and May Day festivities to stimulate the plant world's sex passions. [14] The horse evolved in North America 5,000,000 years ago and became extinct before the red man arrived. [15] The red race once hunted bison much like American Indians. [16]
The red race in North America never came in contact with the Eskimos before the end of the first millennium of the Christian era. [17]
The red race in eastern Asia preserved their superior potential by escaping mixing with the debased Neanderthal strain, allowing them to reign supreme for almost one hundred thousand years. [18] The Life Carriers imparted the full bestowal of living energy to the red race, superior to the later indigo-black race. [19]
The red race's little Adamic upstepping was hindered by isolation, leading to missed opportunities for advancement and eventual contact with the white man. [20] The Mongoloid type includes the original red race, along with the yellow and blue races. [21] The original Melchizedek plan for upstepping the red race in the Americas was part of the Urantia races' improvement. [22]
The modern white peoples incorporate the surviving strains of the Adamic, Sangik (red, yellow, blue), Andonite, and Nodite stocks, resulting in a highly blended Nordic race with traits from all these original human lineages. [23]
The red race was the first to develop government and tribal civilization, displaying remarkable intelligence and monogamous practices. [24] The American red man never understood private ownership of land, but acquisition and inheritance of private property were still important to them. [25] The American red men never attained real statehood, remaining only as a loose confederation due to the absence of modern national essentials. [26] Red race had peace chiefs and war chiefs, with some chiefs chosen for qualities beyond military service, such as judges and teachers. [27] Certain red tribes followed the teachings of Onamonalonton, ruling by a council of seven, with some tribes having female councils or women rulers. [28] The red race's too democratic government failed before evolving into a state due to premature contact with the more advanced white civilization. [29]
7000 pure-line red race entered North America, forsaking Asia, accompanied by three small groups of mixed ancestry. [30]
The red race crossed the Bering isthmus to America between 100,000 to 85,000 B.C. and never returned to Asia, leaving their genetic imprint on the yellow race. [31] The red race was driven out of Asia by the yellow race, leading to serious conflict in later times and their eventual migration to the Americas. [32]
In Central and South America, the red race, with hints of yellow, orange, and blue, founded enduring civilizations distinct from the Andite influences. [33]
The red and yellow races blended with the Andonites in India, later absorbing green, orange, blue, and indigo races, while the modern aborigines are not truly representative. [34] The red race held the northern Pacific islands before being displaced by the Japanese ancestors in 12,000 B.C. [35] The red race migrated northeast to Asia, followed closely by the yellow race. [36]
Onamonalonton, leader and spiritual deliverer of the red men, brought peace and revived worship among the Blackfoot Indians, his descendants. [37]
The primitive Iroquois federation, lacking essentials to modern statehood, failed to survive due to the persistence of the mother-family system among the North American red men. [38] The Moqui tribe held a reverence for the serpent in their ritual snake dance. [39]
Some believed the red race descended from beavers and coyotes, showcasing their belief in the gradual ascent of the human race away from influences of Dalamatia and Eden. [40]
The red race, like the hunter and pastoral peoples, did not enslave captives, choosing instead to either adopt or kill them. [41] The conflict between the red race and the white race ultimately determined their fate when they did not blend. [42] For 200,000 years, the red race battled the yellow race in Asia, in an epic contest of Urantia history. [43] The red race typically dominates in the early ages and subjugates the orange race. [44]
The red race virtually destroyed themselves by war, losing their intellectual and spiritual culture as they fell to fierce tribal conflicts, while the yellow race, though engaging in occasional warfare, survived in greater numbers and ultimately prevailed over the red race in the epic of Urantia history. [45]
The red race reverenced circles of stones as symbols of worship, while other cultures venerate gems and stones in various forms. [46] The red race believed in a plant theory of universal remedies, putting blood in the root hole to cure animal-caused diseases. [47]

Prereligious prayer was part of manitou superstitions among North American Indians, mana practices of Melanesians, and oudah beliefs of African Pygmies. [49] The red race's meager concepts of God hindered the evolution of their worship practices. [50] The red race was always monogamous, showing superior intelligence and self-control compared to other races. [51] Children of Andite inheritance require more training and discipline than those of the red or yellow race, posing a challenge for modern child culture. [52] The red race practiced practical family organization by sticking to mother-family and nephew inheritance. [53] The red race chose preferred pictorial writing over alphabet writing, leading to the loss of a universal language after the Caligastia defection. [54] The red race, especially in Central America, were cannibals due to various reasons like hunger, ritual, or war. [55]
