Title: A Local Tragedy . . . Post by: indianasmith on May 05, 2012, 11:57:08 PM http://now.msn.com/now/0505-white-buffalo-poached.aspx
I remember when this calf was born last summer - over 1000 Native Americans gathered to welcome it into the world and perform a Sioux naming ceremony. It was a source of great local pride. Now it's dead because of some trigger happy idiot. They shot its mother too. I am torn between being sick with the sadness of it all, and wanting to take a chainsaw to the idiot who did it! :hatred: Title: Re: A Local Tragedy . . .

I have seen white buffalo. There seem to be quite a few of them around, which seems odd if they are supposed to occur only once in ten million births. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_buffalo (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_buffalo) So perhaps on the spiritual side of things, all is not lost?

Title: Re: A Local Tragedy . . . Post by: indianasmith on May 16, 2012, 11:22:25 PM Last weekend Arby Little Soldier, the rancher who owned White Medicine Cloud, went ahead and hosted the pow-wow that was originally intended to celebrate the white buffalo's first birthday. They went ahead with the celebration the first day, and a memorial the second. But at the end, Little Soldier shared a great announcement: a Native American rancher in Wyoming is sending his own white buffalo bull, a seven year old, to Little Soldier's ranch for an extended visit. Arby told the crowd of 1200 Native Americans: "He is coming here to make babies!"
I hope they have white buffalo twins! :cheers: Title: Re: A Local Tragedy . . . Post by: alandhopewell on May 21, 2012, 02:23:04 PM If they catch the jerk, can we turn him over to the Amerindians?
