Here’s one bison that won’t end up as a burger. An extremely rare white calf was born last month, not on a range where they’re known to roam, but on Peter Fay’s farm in Goshen, Connecticut. Some Native Americans are hailing the birth as a powerful message from the spirits and are traveling to the farm for naming ceremonies at the end of July.
The calf, which looked “like a ghost” when it was born, shocked Fay, as did the ensuing excitement. Huge crowds are now expected to visit his farm, and the field is being guarded around the clock to protect the pale wonder.
The Lakota Sioux believe that Whope, the goddess of peace, once appeared in the form of a white buffalo calf, and the belief is that the goddess will return once four such calves are born, bringing in ‘a new age’, which some reckon could be the end of the world.
“We currently have the only three white buffalo in the world, at least to my knowledge,” said Thomas Dodson at the National Buffalo Museum in Jamestown, N.D. Is this the fourth one in the story above?
According to the Hopi culture, the time of prophecy is upon us, the time of the ending of the Fourth World and the beginning of moving into the Fifth Sun or Fifth World. All cultures around our beautiful planet have an ancient knowing of this time and of the great shifts ahead.
