Dispatches from Richard Boylan
Chief Arvol Looking Horse Declares Summer Solstice Day of Prayer
From: "Richard J. Boylan, Ph.D."
Subject: Chief Arvol Looking Horse Declares Summer Solstice Day of Prayer
Date: Fri, 18 Jun 1999 22:40:24 -0700
As the 19th generation keeper of the 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 Grey 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
