In the 1700's a native American shaman said in time the US will be no more due to corruption in government

Looks like he might have been correct

2. Nice, but unlikely he used the name, United States in the 1700's. Possible, but not likely.

3. Poetic license.

4. Wanna have more fun, Google 'Native American Red Jacket" and his 1806 speech about religion.

10. Now that speech is a really good one.

I have read it. It is an excellent, logically laid out comparison of values and beliefs that puts Nat8ve religion on an equal footing with Christianity. It was his response to missionaries who sought permission to proselytize among the Seneca people.

Red Jacket was a great orator. That speech could be summarized by a message in the Christian Bible, "By their fruits you will know them." He ends the speech with the comment that they will observe the White missionaries to see how they live before giving an answer to their request.

(One of my grandmother's Seneca ancestors was related to Red Jacket.)

9. Or totally made up story.

It's a common thing. When somebody wants to sound like they have a profound message, they attribute it to some supposedly mystical Native American.

5. Given enough time any reasonable prediction can come true.

6. That's true enough for every government and it's unlikely to change anytime soon.

7. Highly unlikely this happened

to many things wrong with the narrative.

11. Longevity is rare

I’d say we are actually doing better than average. The typical duration of nation-states, or more broadly, political regimes and countries, is often cited by historians and political scientists as being between 200 and 250 years. This timeframe is commonly associated with significant, transformative upheavals in government, rather than the complete erasure of a culture or population.
