A third white buffalo has just been born on a farm in Janesville, Wisconsin. about a half mile from where my Mother lives. Ten years ago, the first white buffalo was born and it was considered by the Plains Indians as an event almost of the same significance as the second coming of Christ. The birth received international news coverage, with people coming from all over the world to see it. It was featured on Japanese television, and many Japanese traveled to this country to see it. Plains Indians, who considered the buffalo calf sacred traveled many 100's of miles on foot, to come and place offerings in front of the calf. My wife Ruth and I were out visiting my Mother ten years ago when the first calf was born.

It is the believe of the Plains Indians that the calf is the reincarnation of a woman who appeared long ago, wearing white hides. She taught the people rituals and music.

As the white calf matured, it's coat was prophesied to change from white to black, yellow and red, the colors of the various races of me, before turning brown again. The first bufallo, named Miracle, died at the age of ten. A second calf was born in 1996, but died after three days.

The indians believe that the white bufgfalo will reunite all the races of man and restore balance to the world.

Sounds good to me.

Next time we go to see my Mom, we'll drop by and pay our respects.
