A breathtaking sight was recently captured at Yellowstone National Park as a visitor spotted a rare white buffalo calf among a herd of bison. This miraculous event has fulfilled an ancient American Indian prophecy that is said to be equivalent to the Second Coming of Jesus Christ.
On June 4th, a family visiting the park noticed something out of the ordinary in the distance. As they approached, they were astonished to find a pure white bison calf among the brown and tan-colored herd. Erin Braaten, who was lucky enough to snap a photo, described the moment as "totally, totally floored."
According to Chief Arvol Looking Horse, spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota, and Nakota Oyate, the birth of this white buffalo calf is a significant event for his people. It signifies a time of great hope and prosperity, but also serves as a warning that more must be done to protect our environment and the animals that inhabit it.
The legend of White Buffalo Calf Woman is deeply rooted in Lakota culture. It is said that she appeared around 2,000 years ago during a time of hardship when food was scarce and bison were disappearing. She gifted a bowl and pipe to a member of the tribe and taught them how to pray and use the pipe to draw the bison closer for sustenance. Before departing, she transformed into a white buffalo calf.
Looking Horse shared the prophecy of White Buffalo Calf Woman, stating that she would return in the form of a white buffalo calf during difficult times. The calf's black nose, eyes, and hooves symbolize the balance between light and dark, good and evil. The chief emphasized that the birth of this calf is both a blessing and a warning, urging us to take better care of our planet and its creatures.
The arrival of this white buffalo calf is a momentous occasion for the Lakota, who have already held a naming ceremony for the calf. However, the name has not been revealed, and a celebration in honor of its birth is scheduled for June 26th at the Buffalo Field Campaign headquarters.
While this may be the first white buffalo calf to be born in Yellowstone National Park, it is not the first of its kind. In 1994, a similar calf named Miracle was born in Wisconsin, according to Looking Horse. He also mentioned that many tribes have their own tales of the significance of the white buffalo, all of which revolve around its sacredness.
Tory Heinert, executive director of the InterTribal Buffalo Council, confirmed that this calf is indeed a white buffalo, with its black nose, hooves, and eyes. An albino buffalo would have pink eyes, making this birth even more extraordinary.
As we marvel at the beauty of this rare white buffalo calf, let us also heed the warning it brings. We must do better in protecting our planet and all of its inhabitants, just as White Buffalo Calf Woman taught the Lakota so many years ago. Let us cherish this miracle and remember its significance for years to come.
