Welcome to Gaia! ::

Note: I am crossposting this in a couple of other Otherkin Guilds.

Last night I dreamt of a white buffalo calf. It was caught on a fence, as though it had tried to jump the fence and didn't quite make it. I was in the car with two of my friends, and made them pull over so I could help this creature. In my dream I remembered SOMETHING about white buffalo having a big sacred importance to native americans, to me, to society, but could not remember what, and KNEW that if I did not help this poor animal, it would die on the fence. after a little bit of struggle, I managed to get the buffalo off the fence. When I did so, there was an old lady, kinda homeless/crone very haggard and worse for the wear, who seemed VERY grateful for what I had done. She asked me, "What do they call you?" To which I responded "Keeper," (which is what my friends here have taken to calling me, and it seemed more appropriate than my "given name" or any other name for me that I could think of, that people have used for me). She said nothing more, but walked away with the white buffalo beside her...

My question is this: What does anyone here know about White buffalo, both their place in legend and mythology, as well as their significance in dreams?
