White bison are extremely rare throughout the American West and are considered sacred to many Native American tribes.
Bear River’s new white buffalo contains Charolais cattle DNA, which gives them their distinctive snowy fur.
The genetic makeup makes them rare, but not as unusual as albino bison, which only occur in about one-in-10m births.
It was a Bull Albino Buffalo who up gave his life to Mato Gi, and three Tiospayes of Ihanktonwan, led by Struck By the Ree and Hinhan Wicasa, as prophesied, so that the Magaska Ptesan Wicoti, White Swan People, Ihanktonwan Oyate, would emerge stronger than ever after a long spiritual Wintertime, as prophecied!
