White Buffalo Calf Woman promised to return again and she made some prophecies concerning that time. One of those prophecies was that the birth of a white buffalo calf would be a sign that it would be near the time when the world would be purified. What she meant by that was that the White Buffalo would bring back harmony again and balance, spiritually. The appearance of the White Buffalo marks the soon coming era of reconciliation among all people and respect for the earth. The prophecy also states that the white buffalo would be born to white people in the center of the United States.
