Indigenous Tribes Honor Birth of Rare White Buffalo Calf in Yellowstone

The calf, named Wakan Gli, symbolizes both hope and a call to protect the environment.

The white buffalo calf was first spotted on June 4 in Yellowstone's Lamar Valley.
Hundreds attended a sacred ceremony for the calf's naming, led by Chief Arvol Looking Horse.
Wakan Gli, meaning 'Return Sacred', fulfills a prophecy significant to many Native American tribes.
The calf's birth is seen as a blessing and a warning to care for the Earth.
Photographers captured rare images of the calf, which has not been seen since early June.
