Cool story... This snippet from a story with an insight from a Native American tribal chief:
"The birth of this calf is both a blessing and warning. We must do more," Chief Arvol Looking Horse, the spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota and the Nakota Oyate in South Dakota told the Associated Press (AP).
Chief Looking Horse, who is also the 19th keeper of the sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman Pipe and Bundle, compared the birth and sighting of the white buffalo calf with its black nose, black eyes and hooves to the second coming of Jesus, the AP reported.
About 2,000 years ago, at a time in which bison were disappearing and food was running out, the White Buffalo Calf Woman appeared and presented a tribal member with a bowl pipe and a bundle before teaching Lakota people how to pray, according to the Lakota legend.
She said the pipe could be used to bring in buffalo to their area for food. When she left, she turned into a white buffalo calf.
