2010年6月21日の World Peace and Prayer Dayに向けて、
チーフ・ルッキングホースよりメッセージが届いています。
チーフ・アーボル・ルッキングホース：至急
全世界の宗教家、精神的リーダーへ
私の親族であるみなさん、
時はきました。我々は国々のハートとその指導者に話しかけます。私はあなた方の国々のスピリットが祈りに集うことを心の底から求めます。
亀の島のハートから、我々は世界にむけて偉大なメッセージをあずかっていいます。我々はすべての白い動物たちからの声に導かれて話します。白い動物たちは一切の聖なる生命のためにわれわれが祈るときであることを、その白い色で指し示しています。私があなたにこのメッセージを届けるのは、たくさんの動物たちの国が絶滅の危機に瀕しているからにほかなりません。水のなかを泳ぐもの、地をはうもの、空を飛ぶもの、根を持つもの、そうしたいのちを持つすべての生きものたちの国が、メキシコ湾に流れ出し続ける原油による禍の影響を受けることになるでしょう。
今この時点で我々が直面しているのは、スピリットの危機だけではないのです。原油の流出によって引き起こされつつある大惨事は、祖母である地球が、あってはならない人間の誤ち、すぐに手を打たなければたいへんなことになる誤ちによって血を流し続けているようにも見えます。
精神的指導者のひとりとして、私は求めます。我々は共に祈りのうちに、地球のコミュニティーの全体と手をつなぎましょう。我々の先祖がそれぞれの予言のなかで警告したもののドミノ効果として、この深刻な問題がさらに悪化しつつ続くのではないかと、わたしは危惧しています。
何百万人もの人々が、私たちの祖母地球のために私たちの祈りをつなぎあわせるのはとうに期限切れであると感じていることを、わたしは心で知っています。スピリチュアルな人間たちがひとつに集まり思いや祈りに焦点を合わすことで、地球に押しつけられてきたたくさんの傷を癒すことが可能になると、わたしは信じます。私たちが生命の輪を讃え、祖母である地球、私たちが「ウチ・マカ」と呼ぶ存在を癒すことを支援するための地球的な祈りの輪を、呼びかけたいと思います。
私たちは、原油流出のための、この出血が止まるための祈りを求めます。作業をはかどらせるために風を収める祈りを求めます。この誤ちを修復するために人びとが導かれるように祈ってください。そしてまた私たちが調和のうちに生きることを求め、私たちが進んでいる破壊の道の道筋を変える選択をするように祈りましょう。
私たちは祈ることで、私たちみながつながりあっていることを十分に理解するでしょう。私たちが作り出したものが、すべてのいのちにたいしていつまでも影響を与え続けることを理解するでしょう。
ですから我々はスピリチュアルにつながりあいましょう。すべての国々も、あらゆる信仰も、ひとつの祈りのなかにつながりましょう。そのようにして起こる祈りが、６月２１日のせかいへいわといのりの日に、世界の聖地を讃える日につながることを忘れないでください。自然のなかであれ、寺院の中であれ、教会の中であれ、シナゴーグの中であれ、あなたにとっての聖なる空間の中であれ、すべての命のために祈りを捧げようではありませんか。私たちの国々がよい選択をするように、子どもたちの未来と健康のために、そしてこれから生まれてくる世代のために。

A Great Urgency
To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders
My Relatives,
Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. I
ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit
of your Nations in prayer.
We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the World; we
are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their sacred color,
which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life of all things. As
I am sending this message to you, many Animal Nations are being threatened,
those that swim, those that crawl, those that fly, and the plant Nations,
eventually all will be affect from the oil disaster in the Gulf.
The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The
catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the
bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes that we
cannot afford to continue to make.
I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer with
the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious issues will
continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors have warned us of
in their Prophecies.
I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united prayers
for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I believe we as
Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our thoughts and prayers to
allow the healing of the many wounds that have been inflicted on the Earth.
As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us call for Prayer circles globally to
assist in healing Grandmother Earth (our Unc'I Maka).
We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That the
winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be guided in
repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in harmony, as we
make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.
As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And that
what we create can have lasting effects on all life.
So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. Along
with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 21st, World
Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it is a natural
site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own sacred space, let us
make a prayer for all life, for good decision making by our Nations, for our
children's future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Protocols for Gatherings
All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer!
If you plan on holding or hosting a Gathering on June 21st, please contact
us so that we may compile a list. If you would like your listing information
to be posted, please indicate the name of the site, directions, contact
person and number or email. This will allow others in your area to find and
join your celebration.
Send us your info
Whether it is a Temple, Church Congregation, religious organization or
Mosques, if people are gathering in communities, openly upon the earth or
Sacred Sites, please note that proper protocols of Indigenous representation
for any particular ceremonial activity should be done. An Indigenous
Traditional representative should be present to run their particular
ceremony.
If desired; we as First Nation People are willing to share the sacred fire
and offering of tobacco with prayers in a united effort. We feel that all
that is needed to gather is: to have people bring a gift of food to share,
as a pot luck and their energy of concerned prayers. This is also the safest
and most respectful way to treat Indigenous Traditional values and concerns
of proper protocol. (Wolakota sponsored WPPD events have always only used
the fire and tobacco circles for the united effort of prayers.)
Out of respect for Sacred Ceremonies to not be advertised on the internet,
if you are listing a traditional ceremonial rites of a particular
Indigenious Nation, we only will post a general location of where people are
doing prayers.
Any extra financial needs can be raised through grass root funding. We
highly stress that no major grant writing should be done. This should be an
opportunity to empower the people's desire to come together to pray for
Grandmother Earth. (*note: if you are aware of this boundary of respect
being crossed, please contact the webmaster of this site.)
Pilamaya (thank you) for supporting this effort for Peace and the protection
of our Grandmother Earth and her Sacred Sites.
