 PLEASE HELP THE SACRED WHITE BUFFALO HERD.
PLEASE DONATE
THE SACRED WHITE BUFFALO WILL HAVE THEIR NEW HOME.
WE ARE ASKING FOR YOUR HELP AND SUPPORT.
The Sacred White Buffalo herd has severely outgrown the space at Spirit Mountain Ranch in Flagstaff , Arizona . The conditions at this location are difficult, at best. The elevation is over 8,000 feet. All food and water must be trucked in, which is extremely costly, along with no utilities, except a diesel generator to supply electricity.
We have diligently been searching for land suitable for this Sacred herd. An ideal property in Northern California has been located.
The Sacred White Buffalo continues to bless us with additional Sacred White Calves. The message and symbols are clear:
THE FULFILLMENT OF A PROMISE IS NEAR.
WHITE BUFFALO CALF WOMAN IS RETURNING. THIS IS A TIME OF HOPE FOR RECONCILIATION AMONG ALL PEOPLES..FOR PEACE..AND FAITH FOR OUR FUTURE.

WHITE BUFFALO RANCH
Couple's labor of love comes to an end
1/04/2005 - It's a full house at the White Buffalo Ranch, located 20 miles northeast of Flagstaff on Highway 180, where six white buffalo are waiting out a snowy winter. Their owners and caretakers, Jim and Dena Riley, will probably not be waiting with them.
After three hard years toiling to turn the five-acre spread they bought in 2001 into a recreational attraction for visitors wanting to see the buffalo, the Riley have reluctantly decided to sell the ranch and the animals. The property went on the market New Year's Day.
White buffalo are considered sacred to many cultures, including Native American tribes. A Lakota prophecy says the white buffalo will be born in the midst of chaos and war, and it will represent to all people in all nations abundance and healing of the earth.
Year 2004 was not a good one for the Rileys. Dena was in a major car accident in April and almost died.
"I lost my life; I was pronounced dead," she says. "They had to resuscitate me. I ended up with 25 cracked bones. So it's just an awful lot that's happened this year for us."
This accident made it difficult for her to help Jim around the ranch. The 8,000 feet elevation and the cold bothers also bothers both of them
The rest of the year was also difficult and brought more bad news of serious illnesses in their extended family.
For all these reasons, the couple can no longer handle the arduous upkeep of the ranch and buffalo. They also want to be able to spend more time with their family.
After nine years, Dena and Jim say they are now ready to pass on their responsibility of raising this buffalo herd to someone else. "We've put our heart and our soul into this, into all of this -- the business, the animals. We never even leave the property together, Jim and I. We're married to this. We take this
responsibility really seriously."
The extended white buffalo family now includes four girls and two boys: Miracle Moon, Rainbow Spirit, Mandela Peace Pilgrim, Arizona Spirit and two babies born last year, Sunrise Spirit (May 22) and Spirit Thunder (May 27). The white buffalo family will get bigger very soon.
"Three white ones are pregnant, and a brown one is pregnant with our two-year old bull," Dena Riley said. "Isn't that amazing?"
The Riley's first white buffalo, the female Miracle Moon, was born in the spring of 1997, on the edge of the Black Hills of Wyoming on the Dream Maker Bison Ranch. Miracle Moon's two daughters, Rainbow Spirit and Mandela "Mandy" Peace Pilgrim, both white buffalo, were born before the couple moved to Flagstaff i n December 2001.
One in every 10 million bison births is a white buffalo. The Rileys have had their buffalo DNA tested, and they have been certified to be purebred North American bison, with no mixture of any other cattle breed.
The Rileys have made a number of improvements to their ranch, including many to make it attractive as a showcase for the white buffalo herd.
"We've done a lot to it to make it what it is today," Dena Riley says. "It's completely fenced. We've painted, caulked, repaired, added. We've enclosed the front porch. We've just worked our buns off the last three years."
The Rileys declined to give the asking price for their property. In a press release, they said they will be donating $100,000 from the proceeds of the sale for disaster relief for people affected by tsunamis in nearly a dozen Asian countries.
The couple are hoping a buyer will be able to afford changes that will benefit the herd.
"Maybe they can get them the land they need, in order for our herd to grow," she said.
UPDATE ON THE SALE OF THE WHITE BUFFALO RANCH
We are looking to relocate these special and sacred animals where there is lots of grass, water and trees. Please note: The business will be for sale in the near future, but the white buffalo DOES NOT go with the sale of the business.

THE WHITE BUFFALO LEGEND
The White Buffalo are sacred to many Native Americans. The Lakota (Sioux) Nation has passed down the The Legend of the White Buffalo--a story now approximately 2,000 years old--at many council meetings, sacred ceremonies, and through the tribe's storytellers. There are several variations, but all are meaningful, and tell of the same outcome. Have communication with the Creator through prayer with clear intent for Peace, Harmony and Balance for all life living in the Earth Mother.
Spirituality among Natives Americans and non-Native Americans has been a strong force for those who believe in the power of the Great Spirit or God. It matters not what you call the Creator. What matters is that you pray to give thanks for your blessings and trust the guidance given to you from the world of Spirit. Many truths about Spirit are told and handed down from one generation to the next.
The legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman tells how the People had lost the ability to communicate with the Creator. The Creator sent the sacred White Buffalo Calf Woman to teach the People how to pray with the Pipe. With that Pipe, seven sacred ceremonies were given for the people to abide in order to ensure a future with harmony, peace, and balance.
Legend says that long ago, two young men were out hunting when from out of nowhere came a beautiful maiden dressed in white buckskin. One of the hunters looked upon her and recognizing her as a wakan, or sacred being, lowered his eyes. The second hunter approached her with lust in his eyes desiring her for his woman. White Buffalo Calf Woman beckoned the lustful warrior to her, and as he approached a cloud of dust arose around them causing them to be hidden from view. When the dust settled, nothing but a pile of bones lay next to her. As she walked toward the respectful young hunter, she explained to him that she had merely fulfilled the other man's desire, allowing him, within that brief moment, to live a lifetime, die and decay. White Buffalo Calf Woman instructed the young man to go back to the People and tell them to prepare for her arrival to teach them of the way to pray. The young hunter obeyed. When White Buffalo Calf woman arrived with the sacred bundle (the prayer pipe) she taught the People of the seven sacred ways to pray. These prayers are through ceremonies that include the Sweat Lodge for purification; the Naming Ceremony for child naming; the Healing Ceremony to restore health to the body, mind and spirit; the adoption ceremony for making of relatives; the marriage ceremony for uniting male and female; the Vision Quest for communing with the Creator for direction and answers to one's life; and the Sundance Ceremony to pray for the well-being of all the People.
When the teaching of the sacred ways was complete, White Buffalo Calf Woman told the people she would again return for the sacred bundle that she left with them. Before leaving, she told them that within her were the four ages, and that she would look back upon the People in each age, returning at the end of the fourth age, to restore harmony and spirituality to a troubled land. She walked a short distance, she looked back towards the people and sat down. When she arose they were amazed to see she had become a black buffalo. Walking a little further, the buffalo laid down, this time arising as a yellow buffalo. The third time the buffalo walked a little further and this time arose as a red buffalo. Walking a little further it rolled on the ground and rose one last time as a white buffalo calf signaling the fulfillment of the White Buffalo Calf prophecy.
 The changing of the four colors of the White Buffalo Calf Woman represents the four colors of man--white, yellow, red and black. These colors also represent the four directions, north, east, south and west. The sacred bundle that was left to the Lakota people is still with the People in a sacred place on the Cheyenne River Indian reservation in South Dakota. It is kept by a man known as the Keeper of the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, Arvol Looking Horse.
The legend of the White Buffalo Calf Woman remains ever promising in this age of spiritual enlightenment and conscious awareness. In today's world of confusion and war many of us are looking for signs of peace. "With the return of the White Buffalo it is a sign that prayers are being heard, that the sacred pipe is being honored, and that the promises of prophecy are being fulfilled. White Buffalo signals a time of abundance and plenty."
(Sams and Carson, Medicine cards)
Though harsh as the world we live in may be throughout recorded history there have been spiritual leaders teaching peace, hope and balance (synergy) amongst all life. This was taught by great teachers such as Jesus, Buddha, the Dali Lama's, and Native American leaders. Chief Crazy Horse, Chief Seattle, and Chief Red Cloud are a few of the visionary leaders who committed their lives to bring peace, and internal happiness to all who they touched. They were tangible signs of goodwill toward all men, women and children.
White Buffalo at Spirit Mountain Ranch
Included with the tangible signs for world peace and harmony are six sacred White Buffalo located at Spirit Mountain Ranch in Flagstaff, Arizona. The birth of a white buffalo is a rare occurance indeed. Only one in 10 million buffalo is born white. The Creator has blessed the world and all its inhabitants with a family of White Buffalo. At Spirit Mountain Ranch these White Buffalo include Miracle Moon, Rainbow Spirit, Arizona Spirit, Mandela Peace Pilgrim, Sunrise Spirit and Spirit Thunder.
Miracle Moon--our first White Buffalo and now a mother--was born on April 30, 1997. Miracle Moon gave birth to Rainbow Spirit (female) on June 8, 2000, to Mandela Peace Pilgrim (female) on July 18, 2001, and to Arizona Spirit (male) on July 1, 2002. All these babies were fathered by Willy Wonka--a brown North American Bison. And now the babies are having their own white babies.
On May 22, 2004, Mandela Peace Pilgrim gave birth to Sunrise Spirit (female). Five days later on May 27, 2004, Rainbow Spirit gave birth to Spirit Thunder (male). Both these white buffalo babies were fathered by BlackJack--a brown Canadian Bison.
These beautiful, divine energies touch all who come see them. People come to the ranch to pray and leave gifts for the sacred White Buffalo. All hearts are touched. Some weep, some marvel, and others are led to the ranch not knowing about the White Buffalo and its promise of peace and abundance. We believe the spirit of the White Buffalo calls out to the hearts of these people and directs them to experience the peace and tranquility carried within the White Buffalo family.
Now, more than ever recent events that are taking place worldwide are a wake-up call to seek connection to the divine Great Spirit or God that resides within us. The return of the White Buffalo is another physical sign from the world of Spirit, ready and waiting to help us walk in our world with wisdom, knowledge, peace and love. Regardless of our race, color or form, we are all brothers and sisters who live on the same Earth mother. It is time to respect and honor each individual as we ourselves would like to be respected.
NATIVE AMERICAN QUOTES
I am poor and naked, but I am the chief of a nation. We do not want riches, but we do want to train our children right. Riches would do us no good. We could not take them with us to the other world. We do not want riches. We want peace and love. - Red Cloud (MAKHIPIYA-LUTA) Sioux Chief
From Wakan-Tanka, the Great Mystery, comes all power. It is from Wakan-Takan that the holy man has wisdom and the power to heal and make holy charms. Man knows that all healing plants are given by Wakan-Tanka, therefore they are holy. So too is the buffalo holy, because it is the gift of Wakan-Tanka. - Flat Iron (MAZA BLASKA) Oglala Sioux
"Upon suffering beyond suffering: the Red Nation shall rise again and it shall be a blessing for a sick world. A world filled with broken promises, selfishness and separations. A world longing for light again. I see a time of Seven Generations when all the colors of mankind will gather under the Sacred Tree of Life and the whole Earth will become one circle again. In that day, there will be those among the Lakota who will carry knowledge and understanding of unity among all living things and the young white ones will come to those of my people and ask for this wisdom. I salute the light within your eyes where the whole Universe dwells. For when you are at that center within you and I am that place within me, we shall be one." - Chief Crazy Horse, Oglala Sioux (This statement was taken from Crazy Horse as he sat smoking the Sacred Pipe with Sitting Bull for the last time, four days before he was assassinated.)
