COMPLETION CIRCLE OF THE FOURTH YEAR OF WORLD PEACE AND PRAYER DAY
June 21, 1999
As keeper of the 19th generation Sacred White Buffalo Pipe of
Peace, I, Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Nakota and
Dakota Nation, would like to invite the world to recognize
June 21st as a day of prayer for global healing. Our traditional
indigenous ways are the way to strengthen our bonds and healing
for our Mother Earth. We are the "root nation", Hutkan Oyate,
with responsibility to turn the life of our Mother Earth around.
It is now evident, with even the scientific findings, that our
course is leading to the endangerment of our tired Mother Earth.
We are now in the midst of what is prophesied as the crossroads,
faced with either disaster, chaos, diseases, with tears from our
relatives' (Mitakuye Oyasin) eyes, or uniting spiritually with
all nations upon Mother Earth.
This is a calling for the world to seek out the sacred sites and
bring awareness to the energy and connection that exists there to
our Mother Earth. In the past, there has been clear research
findings of people coming together spiritually, praying for a
healing, and our Mother Earth responded with a visible positive
energy shift.
This year we are completing the circle to the South direction in
Costa Rica. This journey started in 1996 at Gray Horn Butte,
Wyoming and circled to the North in 1997, to the Cree Nation of
the Joseph Big Head Reservation, and then to the East at the
Sacred Pipestone Quarries in 1998. Costa Rica has been chosen as
the Southern site to complete the circle because of the need to
support what is already established there with the efforts of the
University of Peace and its non-military existence. We are
inviting the surrounding Indigenous Peoples of the South and all
Indigenous people of the world to either join us or go to their
sacred site if it is not possible to journey to Costa Rica.
According to our star knowledge, June 21st is a time to pray. We
have this only chance to unite spiritually. In our way there is
no beginning and no ending to continue to work toward peace and
harmony for our Mother Earth so there is much healing for our
nations of future generations.
May peace be with you, all life upon Mother Earth.
Mitakuye oyasin, (All my relations)
Chief Arvol Looking Horse, Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe
World Peace and Prayer Day is the fulfillment of prophecy from our
ancestors, not only Lakota, but that of other Peoples' of Earth.
Chief Looking Horse is the catalyst for the vision he keeps, an
inherited responsibility of what the White Buffalo Calf Pipe stands
for - Peace - with the ancestral vision of obtaining Peace through
the help of the spirituality of all Peoples! The vision and endeavor
is for all people from all cultures and beliefs to come together and
pray for Global Healing. If we view our ways with ethnocentricity we
destroy the very empowerment through which we fully obtain the
connection with the Creator.
May peace be with you, WPPD '99 Staff
Warmest Greetings,
We would like to know if you would be willing to have your e-mail
address included in a section of our website for 1999 (URL is
below). The section would be available for people wishing to connect
with others in your area on June 21, 1999.
If you would like to be a part of our effort in this way, please,
e-mail me.
We thank you for your prayers for Peace and Unity.
My name is Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota, and
Nakota Nation, I would like to share a viewpoint about the "Ethnic
Cleansing", mass killing of innocent people in Yugoslavia.
I am the Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of Peace, a
gift of a sacred bundle given nineteen generations ago to my people
providing guidance of teachings for assurance of Peace within our
lives.
The White Buffalo Calf Woman gave this gift of the Sacred Pipe
providing guidance of teachings for assurance of Peace within
our lives. Along with these teachings of this Sacred Pipe of Peace,
has been prophecies passed down from significant people who walked
their harmony. They based their lives on teachings given from
sacred bundles, such as the Sacred Buffalo Calf Pipe or many other
gifts of bundles and teachings from the Creator.
They foretold of these times of great change, which coincide with
many other Nations' archives recording their own Prophecies. The
reality of the accuracy of these Prophecies which has predicted events
upon Mother Earth, as well as the history of our own people, have come
to pass, so we have learned to pay attention.
There are foretold Prophecies of a very dark time, more significant
than any other times in History. We will be at a crossroads in which a
dark cloud will envelop the earth, chaos and diseases will erupt and we
will witness blood from our relatives' eyes.
Humankind has to make a decision and have courage to make a stand
for Peace, even when their relatives' minds are restrained from
spiritual awareness of healing the mind. We still have a chance to
choose to make a change.
Mother Earth is a living spirit that clothes, feeds and nourishes
all walks of life, but when fighting erupts, the land and life cease to
flourish, as well as the spirit of humankind.
Mother Earth needs our help! I call upon the World to Pray at once
for Peace, to make your stand spiritually, you must see the ignorance
of this situation in Yugoslavia will only make us blinder to our own
empowerment of making a positive change for our next generations to
come.
Pray with me every day at 10:00 AM Central Time for a peaceful
resolution to this continuing destruction of the World. You must
realize this "disease of the mind" will spread even faster, if we
don't take control of our behavior.
I have been initiating an event called "World Peace and Prayer Day"
to bring awareness of these times by uniting the world spiritually on
June 21st, praying at the sacred sites, for Global Healing, this being
the fourth year to the South in Costa Rica.
When this day arrives, please pilgrimage to your local sacred site
and continue the daily praying that has been done at the time of 10:00
AM Central Time. This is an invitation to the Serbian and Yugoslavian
representatives to participate, whether it be in Costa Rica or at
your own sacred place of prayer.
Please begin to learn to understand the meaning of "Walking in
Harmony and Peace" in having the courage to transform our spiritual
consciousness to love and compassion! This is the real challenge and
courage in life. As one of our spiritual leaders, Black Elk once said:
"One who walks a dark road is distracted, who is ruled by his senses and
who lives for himself, rather than for his people". Please "Look upon
your children, with their children in their arms, that they may face the
winds and walk to the day of quiet."
From which there is no beginning and no ending in the Sacred Hoop
of Life, I am sending you this message of Peace from my heart and the
sacred altar, may our prayers for Peace be heard, may peace with you
all...
Hetcetuyelo! Mitakuye Oyasin (all my relations),
Chief Arvol Looking Horse,
19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of Peace
