The White Bison Story
Our name, White Bison Well-Being, was born from a story and an observation:
There is a sacred legend from the Native American Lakota Nation of a White Buffalo Calf Woman (Ptesan Wi’). In this legend, a woman deity dressed in white buckskin, helps the struggling people in a time of famine. She brought a White Buffalo Calf pipe, the most sacred object one can possess - and taught them the seven sacred ways to pray.
As she left, she told them she would return again and restore harmony and spirituality to a troubled world. Today each time a white bison calf is born it signifies prayers are being heard, bringing a sense of hope and a sign of prosperous times to come.
From this legend and observation, we can see that American Bison are magnificent, powerful animals. They are the national mammal of the United States for their role in shaping the Great Plains and settling the western states. They stand today as a symbol of unity, resilience and healthy communities.
Perhaps the bison’s most interesting trait is how they instinctively respond to a storm. Most animals, like cows, will see an ominous storm and run away. Ending up miserable and in the storm for much longer, the cows risk cold shock and even death.
In contrast, when Bison see a storm they band together and charge directly into it. By facing the opposition head on they band together and move directly through the storm. The head on and community approach offers support while also reducing their suffering.
One thing is certain: storms come to us all. As these storms come we are presented with the choice to run away like a cow or face the storm like a bison.
We invite you to face your storm.
As you face the storms of life we are here to walk with you and offer the holistic support you need as you find solutions to your most troubling concerns.
May you bask in the peace, unity, resilience, hope and abundance that comes when you take the path of the bison and face your storm.
