Look what I saw today!
I was on a group bike ride. We were just rolling up to a rest area and I noticed this white buffalo across the road.
I have no idea if buffalo are aggressive. His friend grunted at me a little bit but this guy seemed quite pleasant! Besides sticking his tongue out at me!!
Is he sticking his tongue out at me?!

Thank you so much for sharing this article. I knew the white buffalo had a significant role but I did not know the story.
If I can just get a bit technical here. ..
This is a bison (Latin is ‘bison bison’ funny!) Not a buffalo. It is common mistake here. Buffalo are in Africa. However, yes as Thumbsup already posted, American Natives covet the white bison as a spiritual creature.
Please excuse the long comment, I think Mr. Nugent said it best:
Well, listen everybody
To what I got to say.
There’s hope for tomorrow,
If we wake up today.
Well, it happened long ago,
In the new magic land
The Indians and the buffalo
They existed hand in hand
Well, the Indians needed food
And skins for a roof.
Only took what they needed
Millions of buffalo were the proof
I said, hey!
But then came the white man,
With his thick and empty head.
He couldn’t see past the billfold,
He wanted all the buffalo dead.
So the Indians had a fear
There we no buffalo to be found
The magic seemed to be missing
It started to look like a burial ground
But above the canyon walls
Strong eyes did glow
The leader of the land
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
Great white buffalo
Well, he got the battered herd
And he led ’em ‘cross the land
With the great white buffalo,
They gonna make a final stand
Now, listen everybody
To what I’ve got to say
There’s hope for tomorrow,
We wake up on today.
There’s hope for tomorrow
If we wake up today
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
The great white buffalo
Thank you Plant Girl for the correction. I had no idea there was a difference.
I also appreciate you taking time to sing to me this morning!!
“Then came the white man, with his thick and empty head.”
The acres of land, the countless creatures and the endless numbers of cultures….all destroyed by the “white man.” In the name of progress? God? Financial gain?
Devastating and unforgivable!
I’ll sing to you anytime, Tree! 😲😰😀🎤🎵🎶

very cool Becky!!
