I could probably find out pretty quickly what the 'elders' think of this buffalo and Mr. Adamson.

Well, why don't you just do that, and at the same time give us chapter and verse of why we should believe your opinion, which sounds a bit offish...

It's been written and spoken for decades about the Native American legends of the White Buffalo - and the prophecies

Every time something like this happens, there is always one the press seeks out who will reinforce their stereotype of the backwards nature worshipping Indian. They will almost invariably be Cherokee, and always mention "elders" to reinforce said stereotype; to promote the idea of the Native American religion system, as if there is only one.

Being a member of the Choctaw Nation, most of us aren't holding our breaths waiting for the third coming of the calf.

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.

Uh, the Choctaw are not "plains indians" in origin and hence unlikely to have legends of "white buffalo".
