This is a compassionate act; a step toward healing for those who consider Lightning Medicine Cloud to be sacred and an integral part of the White Buffalo Calf Woman story, and for those who believe all life is sacred. Mitakuye Oyasin

An Oregon peacemaker said she's so incensed by the apparent slaughter of a rare white buffalo calf --deemed "the hope of all nations" by a Lakota Sioux rancher last year -- that her organization is donating a white buffalo bull from its herd.

Arby Little Soldier, who owns the Lakota Ranch near the North Texas town of Greenville, said he had hoped the 3,000-pound gift would arrive during a memorial this weekend that was initially intended to celebrate Lightning Medicine Cloud's first birthday, which was May 12. The calf was found dead nearly two weeks ago



Little Soldier said he wants the buffalo's killers to know they may have destroyed the animal, but not what he stood for. Little Soldier said he has received condolences and concerned calls from as far away as Australia, Europe and Canada.

Awww, thank you for sharing the good news.
 
Little Soldier said he found the calf dead and skinned, a few feet away from where it was born a year ago. Little Soldier said the calf's mother, which was found dead and skinned the next day, was poisoned. The calf's father was struck and killed by lightning in April.

The Hunt County Sheriff's Department and the Texas Rangers are investigating the calf's death, and Little Soldier said the Bureau of Indian Affairs is also involved.

"We're pushing for this to be a hate crime," said Little Soldier, who wants lawmakers to offer some kind of protection for the white buffalo. There is also a reward that now exceeds $45,000
