As the Trump administration wages illegal war on Iran threatening genocide and war crimes, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth invokes Jesus Christ to justify military violence, Lakota People's Law Project Executive Director Chase Iron Eyes offers a moral and spiritual counter grounded in Indigenous knowledge, the words of Pope Leo XIV, and the prophecy of Black Elk.

In this video, Chase breaks down Trump's Easter war crime threats, Hegseth's Pentagon holy war prayers, and the reported intimidation of the Vatican's ambassador to the United States. He then pivots to what a true divine worldview looks like: serving the least among us, confronting those who cause poverty and oppression, and expanding the consciousness of peace across all faiths and peoples.

As Black Elk taught: the first peace comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship with and their oneness with the Universe. But prophecy doesn't fulfill itself. It takes action.

Our prayer is action.
