Arvol Looking Horse was born on the Cheyenne River Reservation in South Dakota in 1954 and was raised by his Grandparents Lucy and Thomas Looking Horse. While growing up on the reservation he learned the language, history and spiritual ways of his people.
At age twelve, Arvol was given a great responsibility. He became the 19th generation keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe. Since then, and due to his understanding of the tragic history of his People the Lakota, Nakota and Dakota, Arvol has committed his life to working for freedom, peace and the cultural revival and healing of his people.
Arvol's degree of commitment to helping not only his own people, but through his sharing the Native Prophecies as well as creating awareness and understanding throughout the world has placed him along with other great leaders in the forefront of the quest for world peace.
In 1998, he spoke at the United Nations on Sacred Sights and advocated freedom of Religion for all of Humanity. He has been on the board of Society of Peace and Prayer that plants peace poles around the world. And has won numerous awards for his tireless work and dedication to his People and to realizing peace throughout the world.
In 1994 Arvol traveled to the United Nations with Elders of many Nations for the Cry of the Earth Awareness conference where he presented the opening prayer. From there he was invited to Holland and the Netherlands to speak for world peace and unity.
Arvol continues to dedicate himself to striving for the upliftment and recognition of all minorities, the rights and proper education of his People, world wide awareness of the legacy Humanity is leaving for the next generations as well as having the United States Government honor the original treaties signed by his forefathers.

19th Generation Keeper of the Sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Great Sioux Nation.
The Buffalo, Lion, Dolphin, Raven, Deer, Black Bear, and now the Moose...
"We are now in a time of prophecy: Animal Nations would stand upon Mother Earth a different color than their natural being and be born white. They are speaking to us with the only voice that can be heard. These messages are of a blessing and yet a great warning!
It is a time of great urgency to unite for Peace and Harmony upon Mother Earth in order for our future generations to survive.
Mother Earth is not a resource, but rather the source of life itself.
