Rare white bison's birth celebrated
Hundreds of Native Americans wearing the traditional garb of their ancestors, sang songs and beat drums on a western Connecticut farm Saturday in celebration of the birth of one of the world's rarest animals - a white bison.
The miracle calf was officially named Yellow Medicine Dancing Boy at
the elaborate ceremony at the Mohawk Bison farm in Goshen, in the
state's northwestern hills. It was born 16 June at the farm of
fourth-generation farmer Peter Fay.
Many Native Americans consider
white bison a symbol of hope and unity; some consider their births
sacred events. Experts say white bison are as rare as one in 10 million.
Yellow
Medicine Dancing Boy is not an albino, and Fay said DNA testing
confirmed the animal's bloodlines are pure and there was no
intermingling with cattle.
