the “blackfellows” (as Aboriginals call themselves) have embraced the buffalo and made it part of their culture. He told me of the “Buffalo Dreaming” and the story of how the white buffalo led the herd into their part of northern Australia for the benefit of his people.

“Now the white buffalo is ceremony.” Ceremonies have been part of Aboriginal culture since it began 40,000 years ago; to have included the buffalo illustrates how they can adapt to change with their always-evolving culture.

To many of the 'American Indians' (so called because Columbus was lost), particularly the Sioux and other nations of the Great Plains, the 'white buffalo' has long been held sacred as well.

These, of course, aren't 'buffalo' at all - they are American Bison.
