Learning Journey on the Red Road
Learning Journey on the Red Roadis based upon my  traditional upbringing as a spiritual interpreter and the teachings of  my ancestors, handed down to me by my elders to deliver to the  people. It is a procedure - a circle of life - for Indian people, for  school children and for anyone, regardless of religion or ethnic  background, who has a desire to attain a higher level of  learning. Learning Journey on the Red Road is about the spiritual  beliefs that have nourished and sustained the Lakota people since the  beginning of time. It is about my vision of the White Buffalo Calf  Lady (theVirgin Mary), her prophecies for all mankind and my role as  her messenger of peace, love and harmony among the people of the  world.The Sacred Pipe teaches that we are now in the time of the "Seventh  Fire" or "Seventh Generation" - a time of profound earth changes, also  foretold in the Book of Revelations and in the ancient Hebrew  teachings of the Kabbala.  North America, known to its original  inhabitants as "Turtle Island", holds the roots of these  changes. Here, the supreme law is the woman. Her three sons, Buddha,  Christ and Mohammed, have brought their children here to work together  and honor the physical energies given to them by the Great Spirit to  protect - the water (our blood) to the Asian people; the air that we  breathe to the Europeans; the fire (our heart spirit) to the Africans;  and the earth (our flesh) to the Indian people of Turtle Island. These  covenants were violated by each nationality in their own lands.Now, during this critical time in the history of the Indian people and  all of mankind, we must look to the traditional, holistic ways of this  island and learn the common sense of bonding with Mother Earth and all  living things. We must heed the warnings of the seven angels - seven  separate energy forces, like the angel of fire, "El Nio". Now, in the  time of the Seventh Fire, we need to come together in one mind, one  heart and one spirit - before it is too late.Floyd Looks for Buffalo Hand is an Oglala Sioux spiritual interpreter  from Pine Ridge, South Dakota. The full-blooded grandson of Chief Red  Cloud and a direct descendant of the Crazy Horse Band, he has spent  the last 28 years teaching Indian spirituality and spreading the  messages of the White Buffalo Calf Lady to all four directions of the  world. As a recognized Lakota leader, Looks for Buffalo is often  called upon to stand up for the people. In 1975, he defended religious  freedom for all Americans. He was the only third person, after Abraham  Lincoln and Chief Red Cloud, to speak in New York City's Cooper  Square. More recently, he spoke out against the slaughter of buffalo  in Yellowstone National Park. Today, Looks for Buffalo travels across  Turtle Island - helping people through healing rituals, speaking at  gatherings, teaching in universities and prisons and holding  traditional ceremonies.
