Now that's what I'd say is a load of B.S. There hasn't been wild buffalo for 200 years, so where did decades of these "legends" come from. Oh I know, from this new age rebirth of Indian legends and "prophacy" (which never before existed) Besides, there were never plains buffalo there, just woodland bison- not quite the same animal.
I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but the legend of the white buffalo has been around for some time. I have two large framed prints in my office by Frank McCarthy featuring the white buffalo. One is shown here
In Pursuit of the White Buffalo. This print shows two Indians hunting the white buffalo during the fall. The sequel is named
Big Medicine, and shows the same two Indians hunting the same white buffalo the following winter.
Wow, thanks for posting those links. Powerful paintings, especially "Big Medicine." Looks like he's "hoary" with frost or snow. Very nice.
Would love to know what McCarthy thought the "ending" would be after the winter hunt. Kinda hope it was the same as the summer hunt! Thank you.
