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.
The foundation for peace will be strengthened by restoring the Original Instructions in ourselves. Prophecies have been shared and sacred instructions were given. We, the People of the Earth, were instructed that the original wisdom must be shared again when imbalance and disharmony are upon Mother Earth. In 1994 the sacred white buffalo, the giver of the sacred pipe, returned to the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota people bringing forth the sacred message that the winds of change are here. Since that time many more messengers in the form of white animals have come, telling us to wake up my children. It is time. So listen for the sacred instruction.All Life is sacred. We come into Life as sacred beings. When we abuse the sacredness of Life we affect all Creation.
We are the People of the Earth united under the Creator’s Law with a sacred covenant to protect and a responsibility to extend Life for all future generations. We are expressing deep concern for our shared future and urge everyone to awaken spiritually. We must work in unity to help Mother Earth heal so that she can bring back balance and harmony for all her children.
We acknowledge that all of these devastating actions originated in human beings who are living without regard for the Earth as the source of life. They have strayed from the Original Instructions by casting aside the Creator’s Natural Law. It is now critical for humanity to acknowledge that we have created a path to self-destruction. We must restore the Original Instructions in our lives to halt this devastation.
From here on you are going to see Earth changes. The winds changing; earthquakes happen where they never happened before. What we are faced with in this world is that man has gone too far. These are warnings. Because we warned that someday you would create that which you can’t control. And that day is here. So we, as spiritual people, we go back to ceremony. We often know what’s going to happen in the future if we don’t straighten up.
Powerful technologies are out of control and are threatening the future of all life. Our concern is with the cumulative and compounding devastation that is being wrought by the actions of human beings around the world. It is the combination of resource extraction, genetically modified organisms, moral failures, pollution, introduction of invasive species and much, much more that are threatening the future of life on Earth. The compounding of bad decisions and their corresponding actions are extremely shortsighted. They do not consider the future generations and they do not respect or honor the Creator’s Natural Law.
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.
In the last hundred years the two-legged is the only species that is destroying our Mother Earth and all its inhabitants along with it. The knowledge that has been passed down is the key to change this path of dysfunction we are now on, to keep the "ho-c'o-ka" (our spiritual center) strong. I would like to see our sacred way of life return, along with all the other Indigenous People's bundles and ceremonies, so the future of our generations to come have a chance to witness the beauty of what our Mother Earth has to offer. May we live in Peace and Harmony!
"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.

I was honored to sit and listen to Chief Advil Lookinghorse and his partner last year in Standing Buff. It was a sense or feeling of awakening... Was awesone a calling to my spirit... Blessed to have crossed his path...
Absolutely the truth and humbly spoken by a Wisdom Keeper❤️🦋
So true, thank you ❤
Loved reading your words of wisdom ..I truly have been waiting for our mother earth to show the greedy selfish people money carnt be eaten...people just laughed so many wise words off...now she has to test us all and the strong spirited souls amongst us shall survive. This disaster
Please send more words of wisdom that may help myself and my young family to survive this..
So True! Thank you for your Wisdom
Shucks, you're saying the same exazt things that modern restored Christians are saying. America has lost all moral compass and given in too many times to those who deny the Creator and perform unnatural acts of science for money and unnatural acts of personal relations. We allow the perverse to prevail and expect the Creator to turn a blind eye as we have. Ain't gonna work.
True wisdom of the indigenous people. Honor and respect to you and may we change and fix the damage greed has done.
