When was the white buffalo calf born

It gave the roof over your heads, the food, the medicines and so forth. But as you all know through history the buffalo was almost wiped out. For Big Snake and his wife Lisa, the white calf is not just a sign of good fortune for themselves, but for others.

Big Snake said the ranch has been visited by Indigenous people from across Canada, who have made the trip to see the unusual calf. Richard Parenteau, vice-chair of the Little Shell Tribe's Cultural Committee, added that he couldn't help but notice the buffalo was born the same year the Little Shell Tribe gained federal recognition status.

It's just amazing," he said. Because the buffalo calf is female, many who attended the ceremony said her birth is a sign that more women should hold positions of power.

Mary Gopher Parenteau, who led the women's pipe ceremony, said she brought her year-old daughter to see the buffalo to instill in her a sense of pride.

Craig Knowles, a wildlife biologist who's been working with buffalo for 25 years, said the birth of a white buffalo calf is "extremely rare. The whiteness is a recessive gene, but it's important to know that some of them don't retain their whiteness as adults," he said.

Knowles added that white buffalo can be lucrative for private ranchers, as some people will pay large sums to selectively breed a white bull and white cow. While white buffalo are slightly more common now with more private ranches and selective breeding, Robert Magnan, director of the Fort Peck Tribes Fish and Wildlife Department, said a white buffalo is born once in every one million births.
