White Buffalo Calf Woman


Poem Artwork

Omen


Turning her power loose
on the four winds,
 sage grouse
beats her
instrumental
wings,


Drumming
up
energies.


Grouse's habitat,
diet of sagebrush,
an endangered
species.


Wrongfully wiped out
sagebrush.
Researchers tell
ranchers they can
boost beef
production by
removing sagebrush
to grow crested
wheatgrass.


Prairies
are
vanishing.


White Buffalo Calf Woman.
Beautiful maiden appears
in ancient legend.


She presents Lakota Sioux
with sacred pipe.
Bowl represents
buffalo,
stem represents all
things that grow
upon
Earth.


Year 1994, a white buffalo
calf is born.


Rare birth.


Omen recorded
as fulfillment of
White Buffalo Calf Woman
prophecy.


White Buffalo symbolizes
birth of unity
among people of
all
races.


Omen.

I know of the White Buffalo Calf being born.
Amazing thing considering today's society! I

Well, White Buffalo Calf Woman did her thing and it bore fruit . . . er . . . a buffalo calf. Legend or non-legend, White Buffalo Calf Woman lives on in the spirit of the first born.
