World Peace and Prayer Day 2011 
June 18-21,2011


















World Peace and Prayer Day began on June 21st, 1996 as directed by a dream of Chief Arvol Looking Horse to bring attention to Mother Earth's need for healing. It has evolved and joined with others into a Honoring of Sacred Sites as a coalition effort from the grassroots to the international communities for all Humanity to be committed to the healing of Mother Earth. Bringing attention to the prophecies from our Ancestors, we bring awareness that "All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer" can tap into energies that has laid dormant in Humankind to create an energy shift  for a great Healing upon Mother Earth. One of the many indications of the many Prophecies was the birth of the White Buffalo in 1994 in Wisconsin, after which many Animal Nations have shown their sacred color to bring attention of the need to pay attention to the environment that is affecting them and would soon affect Humanity.
In the Countries of the N. America, S. America, Mexico, Costa Rica, Ireland, S. Africa, Australia, Japan, and New Zealand we traveled to bring this awareness and planted the seed of June 21st.This united effort is for the remedy for the healing of the present circumstances we are facing from global warming and the poison processes for monetary resources that have depleted Mother Earth's condition to sustain all life. Other Countries that understood this
massive effort also joined. As each of the 16 years passed the activation of their Sacred Sites grew. Whether it is a Mosque, Church, Synagogue, Temple or a Natural Sacred Site recognized by Nation's, this is inclusive to all Humanity in their beliefs of the Great Spirit.

We ask you to join us in this time, in your own Faith for a Great Healing, in Bdote, Minnesota the Dakota's sacred center of the universe. Please take time to visit our information on the web-site:
