The Legend of the White Buffalo Woman

32 pp. January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-7922-7074-6
(4) K-3 An author's note preceding the story provides background information on this Lakota legend. The story's message is one of cross-cultural harmony, but Goble leaves out a key aspect of the legend--the prophecy that the birth of a female white buffalo calf will signal the return of White Buffalo Woman and a new period of harmony among people. He concludes with useful information about Pipestone Quarry and pipes.
