One summer a long time ago, the seven sacred; council fires of the Lakota Sioux came together; and camped. The sun was strong and the people were; starving for there was no game. Two young men went; out to hunt in the Black Hills of South Dakota; Along the way, a beautiful young woman dressed in; white appeared to the warriors and said, "Return to; your people and tell them I am coming." This holy; woman presented the Lakota people with the sacred; pipe which showed how all things were connected. She taught the Lakota people the mysteries of the earth; She taught them to pray and follow the proper path while on earth; As the woman left the tribe she rolled upon the earth four times, changing color each time, and finally turning into a white; buffalo calf. Then she disappeared. Almost at the same; time her leaving, great herds of buffalo could be seen; surrounding the camps. It is said that after that day, the Lakota honored their pipe and buffalo were plentiful.
