Wakan Gli: the message from the sacred white buffalo calf
Among the Earth’s most genetically pure buffalo herds in Yellowstone National Park, a rare white buffalo calf is born.
The white calf is considered sacred to surrounding tribes, such as the Lakota, Dakota, Blackfeet and Shoshone, and was given a name, Wakan Gli, in a naming ceremony. The animal’s arrival brings with it a prophecy that some say correctly explains current human struggles with big issues like climate change.
Join Native America Calling to talk with Native culture bearers about the significance of Wakan Gli. Also, a wrap-up of an eventful week at the Republican National Convention.
