Chief Arvol Looking Horse, 19th generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe. The leader of the Lakota Dakota Nakota Oyate, the great Sioux nation, is a man with a vision.
A Great Urgency: To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders

My Relatives,

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit, mistakes that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth.

As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc¹I Maka), and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember World Peace and Prayer Day/ Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our children¹s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Onipikte (that we shall live),

Chief Arvol Looking Horse sees a great danger threatening "Grandmother Earth" and a great hope for restoring her wholeness. So he is calling all nations to prayer of any kind in an effort to return the planet to balance, the people to spirit. I asked him why this path is the right path to take. "A man or a woman without spirit is very dangerous," Looking Horse explained in a recent phone interview. According to this Sioux chief, the absence of spirit is causing suffering everywhere. "We are in a time of survival," he said. "But we don't want to believe it because we have forgotten our spirits. We have forgotten that Grandmother Earth has a spirit." Disconnected souls are hurting others without even knowing they are hurting others." Those being hurt include animals, trees and waterways. The Sioux have an inclusive worldview, but it was not shared by the transplanted Europeans who undertook genocide on Indian land, culminating in the Wounded Knee massacre of 1890. That final brutality broke the "hoop" binding Indians together; however, Sioux prophecy foretold that in a hundred years the people would be reunited. Although surviving tribe members and their descendants were stripped of religious freedoms (returned to them only 32 year ago by the U.S. government), the rituals were kept and the prophecy not forgotten. So the Sioux nations set out on horseback to "mend the broken hoop" of their nation in 1986 at a sacred site known to non-Indians as Devils Tower or the Great Horn Butte; their ritual went on for four years and concluded in 1990, 100 years after Wounded Knee. During the course of that long ritual, Looking Horse was surprised by a vision that came to him of peace and unity that included not only the Indian nations but all the nations of the world, each gathering with ritual plants around sacred fires on every continent. The Sioux chief felt called to oversee a much broader mending. But who was going to listen even to the chief of a people largely ignored in the country where they lived? "It's everyday life for us that we hold Grandmother Earth sacred, we hold the trees and the plants, everything has a spirit. We need people to be really respectful for each other. The Great Spirit put us here all together. If we're going to survive, we need to have spirit and compassion. We're asking people to go to their sacred places or sacred spaces to pray."

  • Was'te. Pilamaya for this, Arvol. Blessings to you and your house.

    For all others - if you have a problem, focus on what needs to be done, rather than the negative. It is time to look to the future and make change. Be the change you want to see in the world.

    Pilamaya to Our Relations and Our Ancestors for giving us wisdom, medicine, and the truth in our hearts. It is time to listen. Hokah!

  • Thank you, and peace be with you. May His Almighty Spirit unite us and embolden us as we seek to bring His kingdom righteousness and healing to the Earth, with justice for all His creation. May the walking dead wake up and turn from their destructive pursuits and seek spiritual renewal, I pray. May His Spirit mingle with ours and dwell within us. Blessed are the peacemakers!

  • yutt, thats the way i know.

  • Thank you for sharing Chief Arvol Looking Horse's message.We indeed need to change our way of life because we are destroying what was once so beautiful. Sometimes,I think it's already too late,that we have gone too far in self destruction.Sometimes, when I watch videos like that one,I begin to hope again that if spiritual people from all Nations unite, we can bring a change to save our planet,our Mother Earth,and create a best future for our children.Mitakuye Oyasin.We are all related.

  • @Tyrfingr so true....NOT ALL whites have that evil mentallity....much respect for those who respect others...peace.

  • @99cacahuate I don't know about that, at least us Swedish have done more good than bad for any people we met including treatment of the Indians that we always traded with in peace. The imperialist white nations on the other hand......

  • I think its time for the Last Ghost Dance. Peace be with you.

  • Thank you for sharing your message of Spiritual Togetherness and global healing. I am a white man who was lost spiritually until I had an awakening this past year. I now look to all good souls for guidance, and wish for everyone to look inside themselves and and in others, and do the same. If I would have read this post in the past, I would have scoffed at it and gone negative, it is time to move on to the healing.

  • @99cacahuate I do and I see the good in all as best I can :) Much love.
