Among the People long ago, the story tellers were an honored & important part of tribal life. Many nights would be spent around the open fire listening & learning as the history & culture of the People would be repeated & absorbed by wide-eyed youngsters & older folk alike.
One of those stories was of White Buffalo Woman & how she came to the People & taught them the meaning of the sacred pipe & how to use it in their ceremonies & daily lives.
