Make No Bones About It

An Evening with Chief Arvol Looking Horse and Chief Phil Lane Jr.

Posted on June 14, 2010 | 4 comments

A fulfillment of Sacred Prophecies and a Call to all nations to Global Spiritual action on June 21, 2010

Chief Arvol Looking Horse and Chief Phil Lane Jr- Call all members of the Human Family to action on June 21, 2010

And here’s the message. “On June 21,” said Looking Horse, “shut off the electricity and let’s pray.”

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 Unc¹I 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 children¹s future and well-being, and the generations to come.

Onipikte (that we shall live),

Chief Arvol Looking Horse

19th generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe

Evening with Barbara Elk – May 9, 2010

Posted on April 25, 2010 | 1 comment

Join Raven and his guest Barbara Elk.

For the first five years of her life, Barbara was raised on Sioux Valley reserve in Manitoba, Canada by her strong Dakota mother along with her six siblings.

Her tumultuous young life is the inspiration for many of her fictional stories. She has discovered over the years to utilize her sardonic humor and positive attitude as a way to emotionally and mentally survive the many upheavals in her life, including the traumatic, forced separation from her loving family for many years.

With her two amazing children, Samantha and Jack, and her three wonderful stepchildren, CJ, Nathan and Jillian, the support and encouragement from her best friend and husband, John, and the many fantastic and intriguing friends she has been blessed to have who read and re-read her stories — Barbara has realized how important it is to share the talent given by the Creator with everyone else, whether it be through painting, drawing, dancing, sewing, writing, etc.

Through her writings, Barbara hopes that people who read her stories walk away with a sense of hope and humor — and are strengthened by them in some way.
