                                 BUFFALO  :
  is a link to the Creator. He is slow and plodding but he  gets to where he wants to be. BUFFALO is a sign of abundance, good health and spiritual healing. Do not forget to show gratitude to the Creator for what you have already received.  Buffalo is good fortune. 

             Buffalo Spirit / Medicine is : Gratitude, prayer, harmony, serenity, abundance,  good health, fulfilled prophesy, 

         If  Buffalo  is your  Totem  :     You may have a tendency to "bull" your way from point A to point B with no reason to be at point B in the first place. You will also find yourself most often taking the easiest route to your destination. This is not a bad route to take ! In most cases it allows you to complete your goals with a minimum of effort.
    In many native legends you will find reference to White Buffalo. This is the most sacred of all animals. Legend says that with the appearance of the next White Buffalo calf, white man and his automation will vanish and life will return to the old ways. Buffalo will again blacken the prairie landscape so densely a warrior could walk from sun up to sun down on the backs of the great buffalo herds.
