Legend of the White Buffalo
Is Spiritual Prophecy for World Peace
The prophecy calls for the white buffalo to change colors four times - with each color change representing the four colors of man. Eventually, the prophecy will be fulfilled by all races uniting when the buffalo turns white again. According to the legend, the earth has been divided into four islands representing the four sacred colors. The people of each island have been entrusted to care for a part of the four spirits:
€ The island of Africa was given to the black brothers, who were to care for the energy force,or our heart.
€ The island of Europe was given to the white brothers, who were to take care of the air.
€ The island of Asia was given to the yellow brothers, who were to take care of the water, life's blood.
€ The island of North America was given to the red men, who were to care for Mother Earth.
The white buffalo calf is a sign to begin the joining of the four islands, unifying the four sacred colors of the earth, and eventually bring global peace and unite all races by the year 2121.
