THE RETURN OF OUR ANCESTORS
WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN
2,000 years ago a beautiful young woman
appeared to the Lakota Sioux. She gave
the
people a sacred pipe and taught them how
to use it to pray. Before she left them,
she said she would return
She was known as
White Buffalo Calf Woman
~
In 1875, Tatanka
Yotanka (Sitting Bull),
was participating in the annual Sun
Dance
powwow at Standing Rock, Dakota
Territory
All at once, he collapsed into a trance
In his vision, he found himself
400 miles to the west, in the hilly
coulee country of eastern Montana
There, Sitting Bull met
WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN,
guardian spirit of the Lakota People.
She told him that in one year's time
a big
battle will be fought there
The Lakotas will be victorious,
she said, but victory will bring
hardship
However, White Buffalo Calf Woman
told Sitting Bull that the Lakota people
will experience a GREAT REVIVAL
IN A FEW GENERATIONS
[One year later, on the 25th June,
1876, the
Battle of the Little Big Horn took
place]

In 1998, Floyd Hand, 19th holder of
White Buffalo Calf Woman's sacred
medicine
pipe, had a vivid dream of a beautiful
woman in a
rainbow-coloured dress who said she
would bring
a message of unity and peace to mankind.
Very soon

A nation is coming
