| Many would agree there has
been no greater kinship in nature than that which existed between the
American Indian and the American buffalo. The Plains Indians revered the
buffalo with awe, celebrating their almost mystical bond with the
animals through tribal legend, sacred ritual and art. The Indians
depended on the buffalo for their basic necessities of life, including
food, clothing and shelter.
The buffalo was also very intertwined
with the spiritual beliefs of these ancient tribes. In some tribes,
warriors performed spiritual dances, calling upon the animal’s strength
to assist them in the hunt or in battle with the enemy. Even unto this
day, the buffalo plays a prominent role in many sacred legends of the
Native Americans.
One of the oldest legends in the history
of America’s Native Americans is the Legend of the White Buffalo. For
generations, the Lakota Sioux, amongst many others, have passed down the
story of the White Buffalo Calf Woman. It is a legend that symbolizes
hope, signifies a desire for peace and harmony, and is above all things
a cry for balance in the natural world.
The White Buffalo Spirit
Tribute
Now, America Remembers is proud to present an important Tribute in honor
of the Legend of the White Buffalo and the enduring bond that exists
between Native Americans and the American buffalo: The White Buffalo
Spirit Tribute Rifle. This Tribute is a working Marlin Model 1894 Cowboy
Rifle in caliber .45 LC. Craftsmen commissioned specifically by America
Remembers have handsomely decorated the receiver and tapered octagon
barrel in 24-karat gold and nickel over a blued steel background with
artwork honoring the White Buffalo Spirit, one of the most sacred of all
Indian legends.
It is with great pride that we honor the
brave warriors and hunters who once roamed the Indian territories and
indeed our entire nation. We owe them a tremendous debt of gratitude.
They have enriched our culture and our lives to this very day. And

settlers and the Indians met in tragic conflict during the great
migration West.
