Mathó Pahá (Bear Butte) South Dakota -- Chief Arvol Looking Horse began by recognizing Crazy Horse, and saying the horseback riders are coming from Green Grass and will proceed to Greasy Grass, the Little Big Horn, for the 150th Anniversary.

"Mother Earth is sick, and we are sick, because we nourish from Mother Earth," Chief Looking Horse said as World Peace and Prayer Day began at Bear Butte.

Chief Arvol Looking Horse 'World Peace and Prayer Day' June 21, 2019






World Peace and Prayer Day / Honoring Sacred Sites Day

“All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer” Following the birth of a White Buffalo Calf in 1994, the 19th Generation Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Nations— Chief Arvol Looking Horse, was directed to honor the Four Directions with ceremony on Summer Solstice/June 21st. According to Lakota prophecy, the birth of “Miracle,” a female white buffalo, signaled a time of Earth changes and the coming of The Mending of the Hoop of all Nations. The Summer Solstice is said to be a powerful time to pray for peace and harmony among all Living Beings. Chief Looking Horse believes that this day of collective prayer will create an energy shift to heal the earth and achieve a universal consciousness toward obtaining peace. He believes that it is time all people understand Mother Earth is the Source of life, not a resource. WPPD has been held in the US, Costa Rica, Ireland, S Africa, Australia, Japan, Mexico, New Zealand, and Brazil. June 21st, 2017 will mark the 22nd year of World Peace and Prayer Day / Honoring Sacred Sites Day and will be held in the Hawaiian Islands and sacred sites around the world.
