As part of this activity, the NASA Web site featured the section "Ancient Observations, Timeless Knowledge" and a
sub-section called "Native American Connections."
MYSTICAL WOMAN, SACRED PIPE
Among the Native American Indian scholars, astronauts and others featured on the site, a brief biographical overview
of Joseph Chasing Horse is included.
The NASA site explains that Chasing Horse is a Lakota and "ambassador to the United Nations for the Lakota Sioux
Nations, an ordained Sundance chief and a descendant of the great spiritual leader, Crazy Horse."
The NASA site also notes that, "With expertise in the fields of educational and environmental issues, he has worked
with NASA. As a cross cultural consultant he has assisted JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory) in developing Lakota Star
Knowledge curriculum. He also serves as liaison between NASA and many traditional Indian communities ..."
In addition, the NASA site points out that Chasing Horse, "serves as emissary to ... the nineteenth caretaker of the
sacred White Buffalo Calf Pipe."

Does current scientific understanding have connections with ancient accounts of mystical
and metaphysical phenomena?
When we hear modern scientists discussing parallel dimensions and mysterious
discoveries, can we draw any conclusions about traditional legends of the "First
Americans," Native American Indians?
As we read about the stories from the Hopi and other tribes about visitors from the stars,
do we wonder if there is an association with modern-day reports of UFOs?
In 2005, NASA helped promote "Sun-Earth Day," an observation and celebration that
happens on or near the spring equinox each year.

What is the White Buffalo Calf Pipe, and what
meaning does it have for us today?
From other online resources, we can learn about
the time long past – said to be 2,000 years ago –
when a mystical being came to the Lakota. Her
name was White Buffalo Calf Woman.
Other Native American Indian tribes reportedly have
similar legends of such a being.
According to Chasing Horse, "They say a cloud
came down from the sky, and off of the cloud
stepped the white buffalo calf. As it rolled onto the
earth, the calf stood up and became this beautiful
young woman who was carrying the sacred bundle
in her hand."
"She spent four days among our people and
taught them about the sacred bundle, the meaning
of it."

According to Chasing Horse, "They say a cloud

stepped the white buffalo calf. As it rolled onto the
earth, the calf stood up and became this beautiful
young woman who was carrying the sacred bundle
in her hand."
"She spent four days among our people and
taught them about the sacred bundle, the meaning
of it."
"When she was done teaching all our people, she left the way she came. She went out of the circle, and as she was
leaving she turned and told our people that she would return one day for the sacred bundle. And she left the
sacred bundle, which we still have to this very day," Chasing Horse said.
"The sacred bundle is known as the White Buffalo Calf pipe because it was brought by the White Buffalo Calf
Woman. It is kept in a sacred place … by a man who is known as the keeper of the White Buffalo Calf pipe."
Chasing Horse tells us, "When White Buffalo Calf Woman promised to return again, she made some prophecies at
that time. One of those prophesies was that the birth of a white buffalo calf would be a sign that it would be near
the time when she would return again to purify the world. What she meant by that was that she would bring back
harmony again and balance, spiritually."
CONNECTING THE DOTS
As the human race struggles today with many problems and challenges around the world, we might find valuable
information in ancient accounts, such as that of the White Buffalo Calf Woman and the sacred pipe.
Here in North America, we have many direct links to the ancient perceptions of Native American Indian peoples. Not
only do we have a vast array of historical literature and tribal stories available, but millions of Americans today have
Indian ancestry.
In addition to single-tribe full-blood Indians, many people are a mix of two or more tribes. Other Americans have a
diverse blend of European and Indian bloodlines. Black and Hispanic Americans also often have Native American
Indian DNA within their genetic backgrounds.
In fact, this reality may be not fully understood because many American families do not even remember those long-
ago Indian ancestors far back in the family tree.
But, could greater awareness associated with this situation be emerging now? Is the consciousness that people
like Joseph Chasing Horse describes rising in America today?
Research into DNA mapping is really just beginning, as are the connections between our DNA, consciousness and
even more unconventional theories about human genetics.
Significant scientific discoveries in many fields seem to be pointing toward unusual and surprising developments
that make connections between our modern world and ancient understanding. These connections cross different
fields of study. They provide a more cohesive picture derived from joint studies and observations.
They may fit in to a new kind of transcendent awareness about Nature and the reality around us and within us.
As we consider the possibilities of emerging new consciousness and understanding, we might wonder about the
ancient Lakota reports of the White Buffalo Calf Woman.
Does she represent the qualities of Nature, Earth and the Universe (or "multiverse") that we are reconnecting with
today?
Will she be returning soon? And if so, how?
