They first thought it was a white buffalo calf. As it approached, they saw it change into a beautiful young girl dressed in white buckskin. She was carrying a highly decorated pipe. One of the men, his mind filled with awe and respect for the maiden, was given the pipe with instructions for it's use and care. The maiden then turned and walked away, finally changing into a white buffalo calf and disappearing over the horizon. The young man returned to the camp of his people and lived out his days greatly respected as the keeper of the sacred pipe. A pipe, closely guarded and cared for and said to be the original pipe, is still presented by one of the Dakota.........
