White+Buffalo

Ideas and Beliefs White Buffalo  The rare birth of a "white buffalo" held great spiritual significance for many Native American cultures inhabiting the plains and prairies of the modern day United States and Canada. One example of this can be found among the Lakota who were taught many of their sacred traditions by a beautiful woman with the power to transform herself into a white buffalo. After instructing them, she disappeared while crossing the grasslands, leaving behind a promise to return to inaugurate a time of peace among men.
