The rare white bison occurs

only once in every 10 million

births. In 1933, a white

buffalo was born in the wild

on Montana’s Flathead Indian

Reservation and was called

“Big Medicine” to reflect his

sacred power. Many Native

American tribes consider the

return of the White Buffalo

the fulfillment of an ancient

prophecy and the beginning

of a new era for the peoples

and Mother Earth. The

seven bison on this blanket

represent the seven directions:

North, South, East, West,

Above, Below and Within.

Together they symbolize

wholeness for mankind and

the earth. Prayer pipes signify

mankind’s communication

with the Creator. In the

center of the blanket, within

the circle of life, are four

hands representing the diverse

peoples of the world and a

new beginning. Napped.
