This colorful sign-post is in the middle of Dunbar Springs neighborhood in Tucson, AZ. I walked by it every morning when I lived there in 2008-2009.

Lightning and Thunder

These sacred messengers were sent by Great Spirit in a miraculous way. They live at Nemacolin Woodlands in south west Pennsylvania. Plaques surrounding their pasture read:

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING

The white buffalo, the male represents lightning. The black buffalo, the female represents thunder. This is not so much who they are but what they are. Regarded as sacred animals by Native Americans throughout the country, these two are seen as messengers from the Creator. Once our relationship with all living things was symbiotic and native people believe these two sacred animals have come as messengers to remind us to once again live in this symbiotic way.

Namacolin’s trail was the original pathway through these mountains on the way to Brownsville and the Three Rivers [Pittsburgh]. Today this trail is known as Route 40. This trail was opened by Chief Nemacolin and Thomas Cresap and later it was used by George Washington and General Braddock.

Why were these two born here? Events took place here that set this country on its path. The passage through these mountains was considered to be the “Gateway to the West”. The circle of Life has turned and come back to the beginning.

In 1754 the battle at Fort Necessity began the French & Indian War, which in turn led to the American Revolution giving birth to a new nation.

Over 250 years have passed and in that time seven generations have been born. This is the time of the seventh generation that was spoken of by the First Nations People of Turtle Island. These two messengers have come to initiate a new beginning.

The white buffalo is the healing of hatred, greed, envy, arrogance, and the destruction these things have caused. The black buffalo says this healing will happen.

YOU DECIDE: Now it is your turn to decide what this means to you and how this applies to you. Teach your children well, honor, respect, strength of character. This world is not ours, we only borrow it from our children.
