World Peace and Prayer Day
June 18, 2024 @ 8:00 am – June 21, 2024 @ 5:00 pm UTC-8
Established in 1996, World Peace and Prayer Day was initiated by Chief Arvol Looking Horse, a spiritual leader and keeper of the Sacred Pipe of the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Sioux Nation. The gathering first brought together Indigenous Peoples of North and South America, but spread to the rest of the world.
On June 21st—the summer solstice—everyone, regardless of origin, nation, religion or belief, is encouraged to gather at sacred sites to pray: “All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer.”
There will be in-person programming centered in Pipestone, MN. Events will be live-streamed on the 19th and 20th. Speakers include CEE’s Karenna Gore, Steve Newcomb, Sikowis Nobiss, Lisa Bellanger, Morning Star Gali, Kanahus Manuel and Faith Spotted Eagle.
