" In the legends of Native Americans, the birth of a white buffalo

calf is an omen of universal significance. The Cheyenne, Sioux, and

other Plains tribes believe that a White Buffalo Calf Woman once

brought a sacred peace pipe to the world. Her return, they say,

would signal a time of unity and goodness among people of all

nations and colors.

 

The odds are against it. At their peak, the American bison, or

buffalo, numbered about 80 million, and the chances of a white,

nonalbino, buffalo being born were about one in 10 million. Today,

there are only about 130,000 buffalo.

 

Still, on August 20, 1994 a white buffalo calf was born on a farm in

Janesville, Wisconsin. For Native Americans it was the fulfillment

of their legends, as significant as the Second Coming of Christ.

THEIR LEGENDS ALSO SAY THE BUFFALO WOULD CHANGE COLOR FOUR TIMES IN

ITS LIFETIME. By the time it was a year old, the buffalo calf, named

Miracle, had already changed once.

 

Floyd Hand, a Sioux medicine man from Pine Ridge, South Dakota, said

the birth would affect all human beings, not just Native

Americans. " It's an omen that's bringing a change and a new

world. The twenty-first century that is coming is going to unify all

of us. "

 

Walter Mercado, Beyond The Horizon, Time Warner, 1997 p. 15.

 

 

" Comparable to the second coming of Christ in Anglo culture,

Brown Bear said the white buffalo calf should not only be a symbol

for Native Americans, but for all people.

 

" Look around. There is much dissent in the world today. Mother

Earth cannot tolerate all of the dissent. This is a time of

preparation. This is a time to decide which road to take. This is

time to heal the anguish of Mother Earth. This is a time to look

within yourself for goodness and the goodness within others,'' he

added. While all cultures have religious beliefs that are similar,

Brown Bear said Native American beliefs follow the basic path of all

religions - love yourself, love others. "

" When White Buffalo Calf Woman promised to return again, she made

some prophecies at that time. One of those prophesies was that the

birth of a white buffalo calf would be a sign that it would be near

the time when she would return again to purify the world. What she

meant by that was that she would bring back harmony again and

balance, spiritually.

 

No matter what happens to Miracle in the coming months and years,

Joseph Chasing Horse says the birth is a sign from the Great Spirit

and the ensuing age of harmony and balance it represents cannot be

revoked. . . .

 

Still, despite their ongoing struggles, Native Americans are

heartened by the appearance of a white buffalo in Janesville, and

have hope for a harmonious and prosperous future.

 

" Mention that we are praying, many of the medicine people, the

spiritual leaders, the elders, are praying for the world, " says

Joseph Chasing Horse. " We are praying that mankind does wake up

and think about the future, for we haven't just inherited this Earth

from our ancestors, but we are borrowing it from our unborn

children. "

 

Joseph Chasing Horse

 

 

" The message is simple. The people should be of one heart, one

mind, one people. Peace, love and harmony. It is time to educate the

world, " Hand said, raising up his cane to make the point.

" I'm 55-years-old and I've been lucky. It's been the dream of our

people for 500 years (to see the white calf return. In 1954 my

grandfather said I would live to see (the calf) and see a change in

the world. We've been praying for her return,'' he said.

Swinging his arm around the field, Hand pointed to other elders who

had journeyed from around the United States and to attend the

ceremony.

 

" If we keep desecrating Mother Earth, there's going to be nothing

left. This is like the Second Coming to us!'' he shouted.

Hand said at the present time there is an anti-Christ movement

throughout the world, evident by rampant alcoholism, drug abuse and

murder.

 

" The values of man have been lost through contemporary life. We

are losing our respect, our dignity and self-worth,'' he said. "
