My nephew went to Yellowstone over the weekend and asked me to play with some of his pictures. This is what I came up with.
Many Native American Medicine Society’s, in almost every tribe consisted of a society of women, or bringers of the rain that nurtures the abundance of their food sources. The Three Sisters ~ corn, beans and squash fed many tribal peoples as a regular staple when game, fish and other crops were not plentiful. The WhirlWind Buffalo Sisterhood began just before Miracle, the white buffalo calf was born in Wisconsin, on August 20, 1994. A rainbow culture promising peace among all nations and all people, stressing equality and opposing any superior race that controls or conquers other peoples. The Unity of all colors, all creeds, all beliefs, working together for the good of the whole and when all pathways to wholeness are respected by all cultures, the prophesy of the Whirling Rainbow will be completed. When the time of the White Buffalo, the third generation of White eyes children will grow their hair and speak of love as the healer of the Children of the Earth. These children will seek new ways of understanding themselves and others. They will wear feathers and beads and paint their faces. They will seek the Elders of the Red Race and drink of their wisdom. These white-eyes will be a sign that the ancestors are returning in white bodies, but they are red on the inside. They will learn to walk the Earth Mother in balance again and reform the ideas of the white chiefs. These children will be tested as they were when they were Red ancestors by unnatural substances, like firewater, to see if they can remain on the Sacred Path. After the time when the buffalo returned, the generation following the Flower Children would see the dawning of the Fifth World of Peace. Appearing to those who see, would be a Sun Dog, or full rainbow circle around the Sun that has bright white lights at the Four Directions, a rare natural phenomena. Enough of the Earth Children will be awakened to carry the responsibility of the teachings and the healing process will begin in full swing. Many will remember their “purpose” for being here on Earth and will develop their gifts to assist humanity. Truth will shatter the bonds of separation and goodness will prevail with tolerance, acceptance and understanding. The WhirlWind Buffalo Sisterhood has consistently sought knowledge that changes lies to truths, that have made us mistrust one another and replace the illusion of separation with the truth of UNITY. In non-violence and peaceful energetic, teach that a worthy opponent will present lessons to make us grow beyond any high drama and into a sense of unity within Self, to then share with others remembering that any challenges to unity are equal to our ability to overcome them. The buffalo symbolized not only the strength of the Whirlwind, but also prosperity and abundance ~ the past 15 years, since Miracles’ birth ~ the Tribe of All Nations has been gathering physically, mentally, emotionally, tribally, socially, morally and spiritually all over the world, even more so with cyber-space communications. Can you deeply, completely and profoundly accept yourself and others with all the faults, problems and limitations, as well as the gifts, strengths and ability to love? / ©tkrosevear~WindOwl Mandala sketch photographed, painted, edited and merged with Buffalo photograph in photoshop7 with final editing in redfield plug-in fractilius.

‘Tatanka Ska’ means White Buffalo in Lakota. Buffalo represents Prayer and Abundance….the herds provided food, clothing and shelter to the Plains People. The Medicine of Buffalo is about honoring all that Mother Earth provides for us. It is about the understanding that abundance is ours when we honor all Life as sacred and give thanks for all that we have been given. Buffalo inspires us to connect with the true meaning of Life. The White Buffalo is especially sacred to the Lakota people, as its story & prophecy have been told and retold for generations among them. Legend of the White Buffalo

Buffalo at Antelope Island, Utah
The wind was just starting to blow up a storm and put a dusting of snow on this bison.
In American Western culture, the bison is commonly referred to as “buffalo”; however, this is a misnomer Though both bison and buffalo belong to the same family, Bovidae, the term ‘buffalo’ properly applies only to the Asian Water Buffalo and African Buffalo. The gaur, a large, thick-coated ox found in Asia, is also known as the Indian Bison, although it is in the genus Bos and thus not a true bison. The American and European bison are the largest terrestrial mammals in North America and Europe. Like their cattle relatives, bison are nomadic grazers and travel in herds, except for the non-dominant bulls, which travel alone or in small groups during most of the year. American bison are known for living in the Great Plains. Both species were hunted close to extinction during the 19th and 20th centuries but have since rebounded, although the European bison is still endangered. Unlike the Asian Water Buffalo, the bison has never really been domesticated, although it does appear on farms occasionally. It is raised now mostly on large ranches in the United States and Canada for meat. Wild herds are found in Yellowstone, Utah’s Antelope Island, South Dakota’s Custer State Park, Alaska, and northern central Canada Other Categories / Animals / Apes / Architecture / Baby Animals / Bears / Birds / Big Cats / Elephants / Fish / Insects / Macro / Nature / Reptiles

Just another buffalo picture from scenic Yellowstone National Park. I love this one for the variety of natures delights all in one picture! Snow capped mountains, pristine streams, wildlife (view larger to see many geese and other waterfowl in the background water) rolling hills, wildflowers, green piney trees, and the mighty bison. / I know I might be over doing it with the buffalo images but I keep going back to this one on my computer and thinking of that old song, “Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, and the skies are not cloudy all day.” / /

Back in 2000… my husband and I were invited by the Governor of South Dakota to join him in the Annual Buffalo Roundup. 100 people from all over the world are selected each year and personally invited to ride for 4 days in the hills and plains of the Black Hills of South Dakota and round up over 2000 head of American Bison. There are two herds and they had to be brought together then driven to the holding pens some 35 miles from our start point. / Once there… the herds were inoculated against “Bursalousis”...a virus that has a horrible death and can be passed to cattle. The herd is also culled for injured and calves to be sold to private buyers. I know many of my watchers have seen the other postings I have of this “once in a lifetime adventure” and here are a few more captures that I gathered together so you could continue to see just what a monumental journey this was. / This is my husband Russ (Big Swede) on the biggest horse they could find (a Belgian) at the main National Park ranch. Russ is 6’6” and a normal horse looks like a pony when he sets the saddle. The State of South Dakota used this image for several years in their tourism literature. / Stay tuned for more of the Buffalo Roundup…to be continued… Ridin’ Drag / It was quite the accomplishment to be on horseback and capture the massive animals that are our American Bison. / Thundering Icons / This was just one half of the herd…we would meet up the next day with the other half…a very dangerous time when the Bulls of two different herds share the prairie. / Stressing The Limit / There is a 25 foot grace you must keep between your horse and the outside line of the herd of buffalo…Bison hate horses more then they do humans. /
When you are in the Teton mountain range in Wyoming, you will see a variety of wildlife roaming the Jackson Hole region… elk, deer, bears, foxes, and bison just to name a few. This one such bison was grazing right along side of the road at sunrise one morning this past summer… with Mt. Moran in the background of this shot!

Dead of winter in Yellowstone’s Lamar Valley. Wolves and Bison coexist, but if the Bison weaken they often fall prey to the patient wolf pack. Canon EOS-1D, Mark II, Canon 500 f4L IS w Canon 1.4 extender – 1/8000@ f/7.1, ISO 400, Bogen 3411 w Wimberley style head. Processed in Adobe Lightroom 2.2
The Buffalo teaches us an appreciation for the beauty of balance, and of the power of gratitude and giving…
