All Nations recognize Sacred Sites as Places to gather or perform private ceremony. For countless generations these Sites were honored, cherished and strengthened through ceremony and Our Mother remained healthy. To ensure the lives of future generations for all our relations, we must begin again to honor, cherish and renew Our Mother.

For four years, beginning in 1996, Chief Looking Horse honored June 21st by offering ceremony in the Four Directions. He traveled to Gray Horn Butte in Wyoming (aka Devils Tower), the Cree Nation in Canada, Pipestone Quarry in Minnesota and to Costa Rica. People of all the Nations of the globe were invited to offer ceremony at Sacred Sites. Thousands around the world have responded and began honoring their local Sites. Following the Wopila (Thank-you ceremony) in the “Heart of Everything That Is,” the Sacred Black Hills in 2000, it was decided that Chief Looking Horse must once again offer ceremony to the Four Directions of the globe. He began in Ireland in 2001, South Africa 2002, Australia 2003, and Japan in 2004. In 2005 the ceremony returned to the Black Hills to offer another Wopila on Turtle Island (North America) to complete his commitment to bring about awareness.

We are now promoting to create a mass awareness of all nations, all faiths, one prayer to encourage everyone to take time on June 21st and join in the united prayer/meditation to heal our Grandmother Earth. We will create a world map indicating your effort on this special day that you will join us. Whether it is a Temple, Church Congregation, religious organization or Mosques, if people are gathering in communities, openly upon the earth or Sacred Sites

Also to discuss the current state of the World including the BP gulf oil spill.

To All:

We need immediate assistance, this is the outcome from Troy Burdick’s
(Superintendent at the Central California Agency/BIA, located in
Sacramento Calif.) continued efforts to illegally interfere into our
Tribal Governmental Affairs (and the effects of our rightful Tribal
members pleas for assistance, being ignored by the Bureau). We are a
federally recognized Tribe, listed in the Federal Register and in the
Dept. of the Interior/Bureau of Indian Affairs, Tribal Leaders
Directory, Winter 2009.

Because our pleas for help have been constantly ignored, we now have
lost our only piece of tribal property to foreclosure and will be
removed by force on June 17th, 2009 (Elders and children included). We
are asking for your assistance…. if anyone of you that I am

PLEASE HELP!!! PLEASE FORWARD THIS INFORMATION ON TO ALL WHO CAN BE OF
ASSISTANCE.

The Tribe has no money and nowhere to go…. we will be forced to
barricade ourselves at the property for local and international news
crews to hear what is happening to our Tribe and how the BIA is
allowing this to happen.

Our Tribe will not go willing on the 17th (we have no where to go) and
we will not allow our Tribal Governmental “Confidential” documents to
be given to INDYMAC BANK. We are asking that someone help us get this
important information to the attention of Mr. Salazar and/or Mr.
Echohawk. The Tribe has been located at this property for over 7 years.
The “TRIBE” and its legitimate members have vowed to not leave this
property until we have a place to move to. That means we need Mr.
Salazar, Secretary of the Interior and/or Mr. Larry Echohawk to CONTACT
US IMMEDIATELY to help resolve this URGENT MATTER/CRISIS.

The L.A. Times has described him as the most famous American Indian since Chief Sitting Bull and Chief Crazy Horse. Russell Means is a natural leader. His fearless dedication indestructible sense of pride are qualities admired by nations worldwide. His vision is for Indigenous people to be free… Free to be human, free to travel, free to stop, free to trade where they choose, free to choose there own teachers~ free to follow the religion of their fathers, free to talk, think and act for themselvesand then they will obet every law or submit to the penalty. The most difficult lesson of all is to respect your relatives’ visions.

Born on the Pine Ridge Indian reservation in 1939, Russell Means has dedicated his life to American Indian activism and constitutional rights for over three decades. He is widely regarded as the most influential Indian activist and political leader of the later part of the twentieth and into the twenty - first century.
