Message From Arvol Looking Horse

Mitakuye (my relative),

I, Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nation,
would like to ask for this time for you to understand an Indigenous
perspective in reflection of what has happened in America, what we
call "Turtle Island". For the past six years, my work has
concentrated on an effort on uniting the Global community, through a
message from our sacred ceremonies in recognizing a day of World
Peace and Prayer on June 21st as a time to unite spiritually, each in
our own ways of beliefs in the Creator.

We have been warned from the messages, passed down from Ancient
Prophecies of these times we live in today, but also a very important
message of a solution to turn these terrible times around. To assist
you in understanding the depth of this message involves the
recognition in the importance of Sacred Sites. It is important that
you realize the whole interconnectedness of what is happening today,
in reflection of the continued massacres that are occurring on other
lands and our own Americas. I have been learning about these
important issues of Sacred Sites since the age of 12, upon receiving
the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe Bundle and it's teachings. Our
people have strived to protect Sacred Sites from the beginning of
time. There needs to be an understanding in the concern of the
protection of Sacred Sites that goes deeper than just the issue of
Shrines built by humans. Our people have built similar objects and
Shrines to identify and to remind the significance in the power of
the Sacred Site. We have also witnessed them being destroyed for many
decades, but we also realize it is what is underneath them that is
important. These places have been violated for centuries and have
brought us to this predicament that we are in concerning the unstable
Global Level thus far. Look around you, our Mother Earth is very ill
from these violations and we are at a brink of destroying a healthy
and nurturing survival for generations to come, our children's
children.

Our ancestors have been trying to protect our Sacred Site from the
continued violations called the Sacred Black Hills in SD, "Heart of
Everything that is". Our ancestors never seen this site from a
Satellite view, but now that those pictures are available with modern
technology, we see that it is in the shape of a heart and when fast
forwarded it looks like a heart pumping. The Dine have been
protecting Big Mountain, calling it the liver and now that the coal
is depleting, we are suffering and going to suffer more from the
extraction of the coal and poison processes used in doing so. The
Aborigines has warned of the contaminating effects on the Corral
Reefs from Global Warming, which they see as Mother Earth's blood
purifier, our sacred water is being polluted. The Indigenous people
of the Rain Forest relay that the Rain Forest are the lungs and need
protection and now we see the Brazilian Government approved the
depletion of 50% of this Sacred Site. The Gwich'in Nation has an
issue of oil drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge coastal
plain, also known to the Gwich'in as 'Where the life begins!' The
coastal plain is also the birthplace of many other life forms of
Animal Nations. The death of these Animal Nations will destroy
Indigenous Nations in this territory. As these destructive
developments continue all over the world, we will witness many more
extinct Animal, Plant and Human Nations, because of the misuse of
power that mankind has made and their lack of understanding
the "balance of life".

The Indigenous people warn that these destructive developments will
cause havoc globally. There are many, many more Indigenous
awareness's and knowledge of Mother Earth's Sacred Sites, connections
(Mother Earth's Charkas) to our spirit that will surely affect our
future generations. These people are still suffering from this
contamination and their livelihood is being destroyed as I write this
to you. There needs to be a fast move toward other forms of energy
that are safe for all Nations upon Mother Earth. We need to
understand the whole picture in the type of minds that are continuing
to destroy the spirit of our whole Global Community. Unless we do
this, the powers of destruction will overwhelm us.

Our Ancestors foretold that water would someday be for sale. Back
then this was hard to believe, since the water was so plentiful, so
pure, and so full of energy, nutrition and spirit. Today we have to
buy pure water, and even then the nutritional minerals have been
taken out; it's just empty liquid. Someday water will be like gold,
too expensive to afford. Not everyone will have the right to drink
safe water.
We fail to appreciate and honor our Sacred Sites, ripping out the
minerals and gifts that lay underneath them, as if Mother Earth were
simply a resource, instead of the Source of Life itself. Attacking
Nations and having to utilize more resources to carry out the
destruction in the name of Peace and elimination is not the answer!
We need to understand how all these decisions affects the Global
Nation, we will not be immune to it's repercussions. To allow
continual contamination of our food and land, is now affecting the
way we think. A "disease of the mind" has set in World Leaders and
many members of our Global Community, with their understanding that a
solution of retaliation and destruction of peoples will bring Peace.

In our Prophecies it is told that we are now at the Crossroads,
either unite Spiritually as a Global Nation, or be faced with chaos,
disasters, diseases and tears from our relatives eyes. In times of
disasters it is sad to say that it is the only time that we unite
spiritually, but we must not taint it with anger and retaliation.

We are the only species that is destroying the Source of life,
meaning Mother Earth, in the name of power, mineral resources and
ownership of land, using methods of chemicals and warfare that is
becoming irreversible, as Mother Earth is becoming tired and can not
sustain any more impacts of war. I ask you to join me on this
endeavor. Our vision is for the Peoples of all continents, regardless
of their beliefs in the Creator, to come together as one at their
Sacred Sites at that sacred moment of what is known as the Summer
Solstice of June 21st, to pray and meditate and commune with one
another, thus promoting an energy shift to heal our Mother Earth and
achieve a universal consciousness toward attaining Peace.

As each day passes bringing us to this day of concentration together,
I ask the Global Nations to begin a Global effort, in knowing that
each and every one of us are making a daily effort in waking to a
gratitude of another day, that is gifted to us and begin to remember
to give thanks for the Sacred Food that has been also gifted to us by
our Mother Earth, so the nutritional energy of medicine can be guided
to heal our minds and spirits. This new millennium will usher in an
age of harmony or it will bring the end of life as we know it.
Starvation, war and toxic waste have been the hallmark of the Great
Myth of Progress and Development that ruled the last millennium.

To us, as caretakers of the heart of Mother Earth, falls the
responsibility of turning back the powers of destruction. We have
come to a time and place of great urgency. The fate of future
generations rests in our hands. We must understand the two ways we
are free to follow, as we choose—the positive way or the negative way…
the spiritual way or the material way.
It's our own choice--each of ours and all of ours. You yourself are
the one who must decide. You alone—and only you--can make this
crucial choice. Whatever you decide is what you'll be, to walk in
honor or to dishonor your relatives. You can't escape the
consequences of your own decision.

On your decision depends the fate of the entire World. You must
decide. You can't avoid it. Each of us is put here in this time and
this place to personally decide the future of humankind. Did you
think the Creator would create unnecessary people in a time of such
terrible danger?

Know that you yourself are essential to this World.
Believe that!

Understand both the blessing and the burden of that.

You yourself are desperately needed to save the soul of this World.

Did you think you were put here for something less?
