Hi Myrna,

The white buffalo is dear to my heart:

White Buffalo Woman - Native American Legends

A while back, I looked into the Sun, and a beautiful young Woman was there. Something Sacred was in her hand, and the light around her was infinite Love. Beside her stood something like a Man. The "Man" was very angry. In his hand was a weapon, he held it in the Sun. The "Man" said, I will strike the earth, and purify it of all humans and of all that they have done. The Woman said, no, wait. Give me a little time to speak to the People. See how pitiful they are, how hard they try to do what is right even though many of them don't even understand right from wrong. She put her arm around the "Man", held him close to his heart, and he agreed to put his weapon down. I watched them for a long time. The Sun did not hurt my eyes, because the "Man" and the Woman were so beautiful. Then the Woman turned and looked at me, and gave me this story, to give to all.

She is back to fulfill her promise. Not because we deserve it, but because it's time. The first time she came, many hundreds of years ago, the sacred woman was with the people for a while, some say, four days. In that time she showed them all the things they need to know in order to live right in the sight of God and one another. Sometimes she'd take some of the people aside, and speak to the men or the women or the children or some other group. Sometimes she'd talk to all the people all together.

Talk .... Except recently when I dreamed of her, she didn't say much at all. Just showed up and did what needed to be done, and anyone who saw her, a sacred Voice spoke to them in their hearts. Stayed a while, and then she was gone.

And so to tell her story completely, a person would have to say everything she said and do everything she did, and it would take a while, probably four days. This is not possible at this time. And to really tell her story, a person would have to live in such a way that anyone with eyes can look at that person and see White Buffalo Woman.

But what I will try to do here, is tell it in such a way that a seed is planted in our hearts, and this seed will grow until we comes into understanding of all that she said and did, the right way to live. So I will go on and write here, the seeds of what she said and did, says and does, for the people. The rest, you can dream.

Many people ask about the ceremonies. The ceremonies came through visions, to certain people in certain times and places, and so it is not always right to do them with other peoples and in other times and places. But the teachings she brought are the same teachings she came to bring to certain people of long ago. She now brings these teachings again, to all peoples, when she returned to Earth in recent years to keep her promise. And anyone who hears her words and lives her way, is a living Ceremony and a living Pipe! Anyone hears this, every breath you take is sacred.

If this story does you any good, please be so kind as to pass it along. Copy it and pass it along, upload it, whatever. Only do not sell it. If hearing or reading this story gives you dreams of White Buffalo Woman as well, please honor her by telling her story and making your dreams for all to see.

Thanks for the video!
Peyote stitch is great for making animal patterns, I wish I would have learned beading when I was younger, I just learned a couple years ago, and the tiny beads give me a headache. I use larger beads & do more openwork beading. I've heard it takes 400 tiny beads to make a pair of peyote-stitch earrings, or is it 400 per earring? I should try peyote & brick stitches, I've seen directions for them, it takes a lot of time and patience and practice.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for the legend of the White Buffalo Woman, it is a favorite of mind too.

To remember the Native Americans in WWII

Native Americans in World War II

by Thomas D. Morgan

[Excerpted from Army History: The Professional Bulletin of Army History, No. 35 (Fall 1995), pp. 22-27]

In 1936, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "This generation has a rendezvous with destiny." When Roosevelt said that he had no idea of how much World War II would make his prophecy ring true. More than fifty years later, Americans are remembering the sacrifices of that generation, which took up arms in defense of the nation. Part of that generation was a neglected minority, Native American Indians, who flocked to the colors in defense of their country. No group that participated in World War II made a greater per capita contribution, and no group was changed more by the war. As part of the commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of World WarII, it is fitting forthe nation to recall the contributions of its own "first citizens."

The Vanishing American

At the time of Christopher Columbus ' arrival in the New World, the Native American population living in what is now the United States was estimated at about one million. By 1880, only 250,000 Indians remained and this gave rise to the "Vanishing American" theory. By 1940, this population had risen to about 350,000. During World War II more than 44,000 Native Americans saw military service. They served on all fronts in the conflict and were honored by receiving numerous Purple Hearts, Air Medals, Distinguished Flying Crosses, Bronze Stars, SilverStars, Distinguished Service Crosses, and three Congressional Medals of Honor. Indian participation in World War II was so extensive that it later became part of American folklore and popular culture.

The Warrior Image

The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor seemed to waken an ancestral warrior spirit in many Native Americans. Thousands of young Indians went into the armed forces or to work in the war production plants that abruptly emerged during military and industrial mobilization. A 1942 survey indicated that 40 percent more Native Americans voluntarily enlisted than had been drafted. Lt. Emest Childers (Creek), Lt. Jack Montgomery (Cherokee), and Lt. Van Barfoot (ChoctawW all of the famed 45th "Thunderbird" Infantry Division-won Medals of Honor in Europe. Childers had first distinguished himself in Sicily, where he received a battlefield commission. Later in Italy, unaided and despite severe wounds, he destroyed three German machine gun emplacements. During the Anzio Campaign in Italy, Montgomery attacked a German strongpoint single-handed, killing eleven of the enemy and taking thirty-three prisoners. During the breakout from Anzio to Rome, Barfoot knocked out two machine gun nests and captured seventeen prisoners. Subsequently, he defeated three German tanks and carried two wounded men to safety. All of these exploits reinforced the "warrior" image in the American mind. Maj. Gen. Clarence Tinker, an Osage and a career pilot, was the highest ranking Indian in the armed forces at the beginning of the war. He died leading a flight of bombers in the Pacific during the Battle of Midway. Joseph J. "Jocko" Clark, the first Indian (Cherokee) to graduate from Annapolis, participated in carrier battles in the Pacific and became an admiral. Brumett Echohawk (Pawnee), a renowned expert in hand-to-hand combat, trained commandos.
