Getting ready to watch the Charles Bronson movie "White Buffalo." Has anyone seen the Native American legend of the White Buffalo? Just interested.

It is said when the white buffalo is born, an era of peace and harmony will envelope the world.
For historical sake, a white buffalo was born a few years ago on a farm catering to buffalo, the owner has gone to great pains to protect the fellow.
The prophecy has sadly failed to produce the predidted results.

A white buffalo was born in Kentucky near here several years ago. The wife, kids and I went to see it soon after it was born. The buffalo farm had Indian ceremonies, etc. to welcome the little guy.

I was far more impressed with the dominat male that was beeing fed. We could get within a few feet of him, outside the fence. They sure are big up close.

I have to go down to Missoula, Mt soon. On the way down I will stop by where they have a white bison under glass that had been born on the National Bison Range here.

Maybe it will just take a while for the little guy to mature. One can always hope!

I hate to admit it, but I am not obsessed with peace. I am when it is combined with freedom, but I am not willing to trade the latter to achieve the former. History has taught us that this never works out!

I know what you mean. The New Testament often reffered to peace as "rest". If we take that approach, then the oppisite would be "work". Too many people think that doing nothing will accomplish peace

. Me thinks not.

There are countless stories about the White Buffalo and almost every tribe has their own version of the legend. In Lakota legend, the return of The White Buffalo heralds the beginning of a time of peace, the return of the buffalo and "The People" to the land. I particularly enjoy the version as told in Black Elk Speaks.
