The White buffalo is an American bison (American buffalo) that is considered to be sacred signs in several Native American religions, and thus have great spiritual importance in those cultures and is visited for prayer and other religious ceremonies. In 1833, a white bison was killed by the Cheyenne. The skin of this bison is hanging on the wall of Bent's Old Fort in Colorado. The Cheyenne killed this white bison during the Leonid Meteor Shower (The Night the Stars Fell) and scribed a peace and trade treaty on its skin. This event was documented by historian Josiah Gregg and other travelers on the Santa Fe Trail. We took the photos while on a preserve in South Dakota and yes this is what Ted Nugent wrote/sang about.

Beautiful shots of these animals, Bob! They look pretty sleepy.

it looks like the field around them has been chewed down to nothing, maybe it was their nap time
