(From Sulphur Springs eNews service)
A rare white, non-albino, male buffalo calf born on a Greenville ranch and considered sacred by Native Americans will be named and dedicated in ceremonies slated for Wednesday.
An estimated 5,000 people are expected for a special naming ceremony that will be held Wednesday for a rare white, non-albino, male buffalo calf born at a Greenville ranch.
An estimated 5,000 Native Americans and heritage tourists are expected for the event in recognition of its spiritual significance. A pilgrimage walk will allow all visitors an opportunity to view the buffalo through the July 4th weekend.
The public dedication portion of the event will begin promptly at 9 a.m. at the Lakota Buffalo Ranch at 2888 U.S. Highway 380 in Greenville and will include gourd dancing, traditional drum ceremonies and Native American arts and craft vendors, as well as food vendors.
Arby Little Soldier, great-great-great grandson of Sitting Bull, said that the birth of a white buffalo is a one-in-10-million occurrence and fulfills a prophecy that has lived in the hearts of many Native Americans for centuries. The calf will be named Lightning Medicine Cloud in recognition of the circumstances of his arrival, and is highly guarded by both the war chiefs stationed at the ranch and the buffalo themselves. Buffalo are aggressive animals and have demonstrated unusual protective behavior toward this calf, circling around him when anyone, even Arby Little Soldier, comes near, the owner said.
There is no admission charge to the event, but an honor gift to the calf is traditional and customary. This offering can be a traditional gift or a cash donation. Pets, alcohol, and firearms are strictly forbidden on the property. Seating will be limited, and visitors are encouraged to bring their own seating and shade. Parking at the ranch will be available at $5 per car. Shuttle bus service directly to the event entrance will also be available starting at 7:30 a.m., with buses boarding at the Greenville Farmer’s Market, 2200 Washington St. Round-trip bus fare is $3, and plans include a tour guide who will explain the history and significance of the white buffalo enroute to the ranch, which is 5.6 miles west of Greenville on U.S. Highway 380.
The white buffalo has long been sacred to the Lakota as well as other Plains tribes, such as the Kiowa, Apache, Cheyenne, Hidatsa and Pawnee. They believe that man’s survival as a people depends on heeding the white buffalo’s sacred message, which urges man to live with the understanding that all living beings are linked and interdependent. The white buffalo is considered a warning by the Lakota, but it is also a chance for all people to collectively focus their energy on the peaceful, healthy, harmonious world that the buffalo is urging us to create.

Update: Rare White Buffalo Killed!
HUNT COUNTY (CBSDFW.COM) – May 4, 2012 Hunt County deputies are investigating the death of a rare white buffalo. CBS 11 News sources say Lightning Medicine Cloud was found butchered and skinned on Monday. The next day the buffalo’s mother was found dead.
The white buffalo holds great significance to Native Americans. Lightning Medicine Cloud was born almost a year ago on the Lakota Buffalo Ranch in Greenville.
Ranch owner Arby Little Soldier has said at the time that the animal is a one in ten million occurrence.
Arby Little Soldier is a member of the Lakota tribe and also says white buffaloes are considered sacred and carry a significant spiritual message.
Last year hundreds showed up to see the buffalo in person.
No one at the ranch would comment Thursday.
Someone who picked up the phone at the ranch said a ceremony was still scheduled next week to honor Lightning Medicine Cloud’s birthday.
The Texas Rangers along with the sheriff’s office are trying to figure out what happened. See vidio clip at . . .

Remember this 50's Band?
You've Heard It Before!
Don't know how many of our classmates will remember this, but the rock band that played for our graduation dance in May, '58 out at the Gvl Country Club at Majors Field was a newly formed one from the Metroplex called the Big Beats, who went on to appear on American Bandstand later that summer. Wish I knew what parents arranged and booked the band for us. I recently came across the band's myspace webpage, which I will attach, that has some interesting old photos and some of their early recordings...the one called "Clark's Expedition" made it high in the charts in various cities and I'm rather sure it's the one they played on Bandstand. I became friends later on with one of the band's leaders and sax player, Larry Randall. Heard him and the band play many, many times during the late 60's and 70's while I was living in Ft. Worth. Several of the original band members, including Larry, do a few reunion shows even now, including the Pocket Sandwich Theater in Dallas. Though this might bring back some memories to some...my best wishes to you and all those '58 classmates who check out this great website periodically.
