According to Colonel Mallory in the Tenth Annual Report of the Bureau of Ethnology, the Sioux believed that this supreme emblem of good will was brought to them by a white buffalo cow, in the old days when the different bands of the nation were torn with internal strife. During this period of hostility a beautiful white buffalo cow appeared, bearing a pipe and four grains of corn, each of a different colour. From the milk which dripped from her body, sprang the living corn, so from the beginnin...g the grain and the buffalo meat were decreed to be the food of the Indians. She gave to the rival factions, the pipe which was the sacred calumet, instructing them that it was the symbol of peace among men and he who smoked it with his fellows, by 198 THE PASSING BUFFALO that act sealed the bond of brotherhood. After staying for awhile among the grate- ful people, and teaching them to call her "Grandmother, " which is a term of affec- tionate reverence among the Indians, she led them to plentiful herds of her own kind and vanished into the spiritland whence she came.
