Rare white bison calf born in Yellowstone, fulfilling Native American prophecy
A rare white bison calf was born in Yellowstone National Park, fulfilling a Native American prophecy of prosperity to come, tribal leaders said.
Montana-based photographer Erin Braaten discovered the calf shortly after it was born on June 4 in the Lamar Valley, with the snaps showing the small animal taking her first steps beside her dark-brown family.
“I look and it’s this white bison calf. And I was just totally, totally floored,” Braaten told the AP.
Chief Arvol Looking Horse – the spiritual leader of the Lakota, Dakota and Nakota Oyate tribes in South Dakota – said the calf’s birth signaled the return of a spirit of prosperity akin to the second coming of Jesus Christ.
