Today are hearts were saddened by the news of the death of Sacred White Buffalo Lightning Medicine Cloud. Our bodies feel numb, and our hearts are heavy, because of the brutal way the Little Soldiers discovered the loss. Some one or persons butchered and skinned this beautiful Being, and left him to be found in this manner.
The sadness comes from the destruction, once again, wrought by mankind. The ugly nature revealed by those who refuse to respect the beautiful message that we are all related. In this time where forces seem to control a mass of people by anger, hatred and fear it would be easy to be filled with fear, hatred, anger, and bitterness at this act. Instead, let us remember that Buffalo Calf Woman’s message is alive. His birth was a message well-delivered, and that lives on. We will not give in to hate, nor anger, nor fear. We will love the message, the messanger, and All Our Relations. Mitakuye Oyas’in, Brothers and Sisters.

I want to buy this documentary when I can, just can’t find it. I am so sorry for your/our loss, I am not sure why I was SO moved, but it very negatively impacted me as an animal lover. What a travesty. If one in six billion is correct, there will never be another one in this cycle of life. What a terrible act of brutality, and by who and why? What is the purpose? It makes zero sense to me. Brian

All true children of Mother Earth will mourn the death of Sacred White Buffalo Lightning Medicine Cloud and his mother. I cannot find the words to express the heaviness in my heart. Even tears cannot purge it. May Mother Earth and Father Sky and Brother Wind and Sister Water, and all those Great Ones who are, forgive those who have committed this horrible crime against us all.

Brian,
We feel the loss deeply, too. Having communed with these beings was a sacred and joyous experience. However, their message lives on. We will continue to help ensure it.
As for the film, it is in last phases of production. Announcements will be made here, and on the fb movie page.
All the Best,
Ethan
