In 1993, Chief Looking Horse traveled to New York with Elders of many Nations for the United Nations "Cry of the Earth" Conference where he presented the opening prayer. When the prophesized White Buffalo was born in Wisconsin in 1994, Chief Looking Horse took on the committment to organize World Peace Day on June 21st, a day of uniting all Nations upon Grandmother Earth to pray for her healing, to respect all life and to vow to make all decisions with respect for 7 generations yet to come. He has traveled all around the world sharing a message of peace for all nations, meeting with other spiritual leaders dedicated to this vision, like the Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu. In 1996 he received the prestigous Canadian Wolf Award which is given to a person who has dedicated his life to working for peace ,and that same year was invited to President Clinton's inaguaration to speak about peace and unity. He has been on the Board of the World Peace Prayer Society since the early 1990s, helping to fulfill their mission of planting Peace Poles that share the universal prayer, 'May Peace Prevail On Earth' in nearly every language on the planet. In 2006 Chief Looking Horse received the Temple of Understanding's Juliet Hollister Award for his work in helping to unite all Nations in the name of Peace.
