They don’t care about brands or unless stuff that city folk think is important. They are always very connected to mother earth and animals. I am thankful that they exist so we can learn some actual important lessons about life!

I have a question but why is the white buffalo considered sacred amongst the native americans?🤔
@mineapple6726 15 күн бұрын
@@ukrainefighter2456It’s a bit of a long story tied to their tales and legends about a sacred woman that taught them everything they know about the spiritual realm, as well as how to pray and communicate with the spiritual realm by using their ceremonial pipe. She also relieved them from an ongoing struggle of starvation, and she departed as a white buffalo calf, telling their ancestors that she would come again as one and that great changes would then occur in the world. I shortened the story by quite a lot of course, but you can find some pretty good videos here on KZfaq that discuss this matter. Even the chief in this video, chief Arvol Looking Horse, talks about the prophecy in one of the videos. Hope this helps!

On August 20, 1994, a white buffalo calf called Miracle was born on a farm in Janesville, Wisconsin. She is believed to be the first white buffalo calf born since 1933. It is important to note that Miracle was a very rare white buffalo and not to be mistaken with an albino buffalo. To the American Indians, the birth of Miracle was the fulfillment of their legends, as if the Great Spirit wished to bring hope and peace to all nations and people. As of today, the last known white buffalo calf, Baby, was born July 4, 2012 in Avon, Minnesota, but sadly died two weeks later.

So beautiful, both physically (as an animal) & symbolically (what it represents to people). A rebirth, a spiritual awakening, a time to start anew, a return to the sacred. I think humanity needs these things right now. Yet, also, a warning. A reminder of what is at stake here - that we must remember to value & cherish our beautiful earth - to sustain it just as it has sustained us. Happy to see the reporter remind the newscasters that tracking the buffalo is not the point - the blessing, abundance, and warning were brought upon the world once the calf was born into the world 💛 I think, going forward, we need a more wholistic & integrative approach to life ... Western ideas & technology can have a lot of value, no doubt. However, it does not have all of the answers - and there's much we can continue to learn from the indigenous peoples of the world (and, really, anyone's ancestors, if you go back far enough)
