The following is posted in the Elders of the 7 New Tribes and I will be copying it and posting it all over tribe.net. I think that it is more important than anything else on Earth right now. It is about the survival of Humankind. This also represents a call to action on all our parts. I think that in addition to all the other things that we pray and meditate on we should all begin to seek Guidance on how we can connect on June 21 and begin to do the work to create a future that is about life rather than death. Please post any insights that you recieve after reading this and meditating on it. Thank you.
AN IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM CHIEF ARVOL LOOKING HORSE, OF THE
LAKOTA, DAKOTA, & NAKOTA NATIONS
Mitakuye Oyasin (All My Relations),
I, Chief Arvol Looking Horse of the Lakota, Dakota and
Nakota Nations, 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? In
a Sacred Hoop of Life, where there is no beginning and no
ending!

Re: June 21 and the choice of Life or Death
Wed, March 15, 2006 - 11:20 AMThere are many environmental issues that concern people, and (potentially) threaten our lives and world. This posting mentions several of those concerns.
The larger danger, that is overlooked completely, is the issue of "ElectroMagnetic Fields" (EMF). THIS is the largest environmental and health issue on the planet, by a wide margin. The others pale in comparison!
EMF and RF (radio frequency/microwave) radiation is present everywhere on earth -- not just a few places. RF is being beamed from satelites orbiting the earth so it completes a seamless blanket of resonant energy that our bodies have no means of discharging, and our science has barely begun to investigate. EMF is present everywhere there is standard household (50-60 Hz) eletrical current -- lamps, electric stoves, electric blankets, computers -- anything that plugs into an electrical outlet to get power! The energy from (50-)60 Hz Alternating Current (AC) is completely foreign to our bodies, is a KNOWN cancer promoter, and has been shown to be a cancer creator.
The public has no idea how destructive 60Hz AC power is, and few are putting out the word.
You can clean up coral reefs, stop buying plastics, stop cutting old growth trees, driving cars, etc. .... but unless you are prepared to stop using electricity, you will have only put a band-aid on the real environmental and health issue that is slowing killing, and sickening, every man, woman, and child on this earth.
I've seen and heard these "gloom-n-doom" postings, before. As usual, they neglect the real and larger considerations. It's easier to look at an old-growth tree that has been cut down, and understand what that means, than it is to stare at your microwave oven like it's a nuclear reactor! We are being TAUGHT what is important by the people who know how to manipulate. However, what we are being TOLD is important isn't really what is important. You must go deeper to see the truth!
Look with new eyes!
