A Long Time Ago, the White Buffalo Calf Woman -- Sacred Messenger -- Came [Ehanna Ptehincala Ska Win, Oglige Wakan Ahi]

Notes: An description of the coming of White Buffalo Calf Woman to the Lakota and its meaning. "In both versions, the White Buffalo Calf Woman showed the People, Lakol Wicoh'an, the Lakota Way-of-Life, not so much as 'Religious', but more spiritually intense in the daily manner of living -- Living as Worship. There are many different versions of the coming of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, and the simple beauty of the Lakol Wicoh'an allows for the individual to make personal interpretations to make a relationship with the mystery of creation and the mystery of the Great Spirit, all while not criticizing that what is true for one is not the truth for all, but most of all, is not false either".; Author, "Koty" "comes from an illustrious Episcopal Dakota family; his grandfather was the Rev. Innocent Goodhouse, long-time vicar on the Standing Rock Reservation in North Dakota".
