[Oe List ...] Original Instructions

[KroegerD at aol.com]

There follows below a report from our NSP  Generosity Sunday event. in 
Minneapolis.  It reminded me of the Church  lecture
 
Today, when our event was beginning,  Stanley and  Lisa contacted Chief 
Lookinghorse and asked him if he would lend us words for  our day.  He responded 
with a beautiful statement that was read by his  nephew Joseph Lookinghorse.  I 
am including this statement as it was given  to me by Lisa and Stanley.  We 
were honored today by the presence of great  dignitaries, politicians and 
activists.  We were also honored by a great  spiritual leader.  I hope this is only 
the beginning of a very special  relationship with this spiritual leader in 
our midst who has much to say and  much to teach us. We have made an inroad very 
deserving of respect and one which  I hope is strengthened in the days to 
come.


Chief Arvol Lookinghorse:


We see ourselves as part of the  universe,
as part of all that is seen and all that is  unseen.
We know that we are no better -and no  worse- 
than the grasses, the trees, the  birds,
the insects, the animals, the  stars.
And yet we understand that human beings are  different.


Each being in creation has a specific task to  perform in this life.
Our Original Instructions tell us what our role  is, 
where our place is and what our specific task  is as a human being.


Do you know your task?


Unless you know your task and perform it in this  life,
you stray from the Good Red Road of Life that the  Great Creator 
Wakan Tanka has given each of us to  walk.


Remember to pray with "all nations, all faiths, one  prayer" on June 21st
for healing Grandmother earth!


Quote by Chief Arvol Lookinghorse 19th Keeper of the  Buffalo Calf Pipe
read by Joseph Lookinghorse, nephew of Chief Arvol  Lookinghorse
