They've Been Right Before

The Native Americans had it together when it came to being good stewards of the planet, they never took more than they needed and didn't do irreparable damage. Enter the immigrants and everything goes to hell, they shoot nearly all of the buffalo and leave them to rot to clear the way for cattle, but I digress. The Lakota prophecy of a white buffalo calf that portends better times but also cautions that it means more has to be done to protect the earth and its animals has come to be tested with the birth of a rare white calf. But as with the days when the immigrants killed buffalo by the thousands Montana ranchers don't want the Yellowstone buffalo herd to be over 3,000 and again thousands are killed every year. Will we ever learn?
