elena, Mont. — The reported birth of a rare white buffalo in Yellowstone National Park fulfills a Lakota prophecy that portends better times, according to members ofwho cautioned that it’s also a signal that more must be done to protect the earth and its animals.
Her family was visiting the park when she spotted “something really white” among a herd of bison across the Lamar River. For the Lakota, the birth of a white buffalo calf with a black nose, eyes and hooves is akin to the second coming of Jesus Christ, Looking Horse said. “From the pictures I've seen, that calf seems to have those traits,” said Heinert, who is Lakota. An albino buffalo would have pink eyes.
Jim Matheson, executive director of the National Bison Association, could not quantify how rare the calf is. under an agreement between federal and Montana agencies that has limited the size of the park’s herds to about 5,000 animals. Yellowstone officials last week proposed a slightly larger population of up to 6,000 bison, with a final decision expected next month.
