According to a recent NPR article, a white buffalo has been named as part of a ceremony celebrating its birth near Yellowstone National Park. The name Wakan Gli was chosen, which means ‘Returned Sacred’ in Lakota. White buffalo are remarkably rare and carry spiritual significance to a number of Native American tribes; Wakan Gli is the first white buffalo ever recorded in Yellowstone Park.
