(Chief Walker) Mormon tradition has it, however, that Wakara had envisioned the coming of white people: "He died and his spirit went to heaven. He saw the Lord sitting upon a throne dressed in white. The Lord told him he could not stay, he had to return to earth, that there would come to him a race of white people that would be his friends, and he must treat them kindly."
