A rare white buffalo calf that became the center of a Native American cult has died mysteriously just days before its first birthday.

Authorities are investigating the suspicious death of the buffalo, named Lightning Medicine Cloud, on Lakota Ranch, north Texas.

Ranch owner Arby Little Soldier says he found the animal dead and skinned on Monday. The buffalo's mother was found dead the following day, he said.

According to Lakota Sioux lore, the goddess of peace once appeared in the form of a white buffalo calf.

Lt. Rip Masters (James Brown) sings the tale of the white buffalo to Rusty (Lee Aakers) and Rin Tin Tin. An excerpt from an episode of the tv show Rin Tin Tin that aired in 1955.

An Oregon peacemaker said she's so upset by the apparent slaughter of a rare white buffalo calf —deemed "the hope of all nations" by a Lakota Sioux rancher last year — that her organization is donating a white buffalo bull from its herd.

Arby Little Soldier, who owns the Lakota Ranch near the North Texas town of Greenville, said he had hoped the 3,000-pound gift would arrive during a memorial celebration this weekend that was initially intended to celebrate Lightning Medicine Cloud's first birthday, which was May 12. The calf was found dead nearly two weeks ago.

"We're trying to surprise everybody," Little Soldier said Friday, while preparing for opening ceremonies that were later cancelled by rain. A memorial service will be held on Sunday morning.

Cynthia Hart-Button, the bull's caretaker and the president of the Sacred World Peace Alliance, is tight-lipped about the animal's exact arrival time because of transportation and security concerns. The organization claims to have a record 14 white buffalo on its sanctuary in central Oregon.

"It's a sad tragedy," she said of the calf's death. "So, instead of them thinking that they lost their hope, we're bringing their hope back in a different way."

Hart-Button said she hopes the bull, named Chief Hiawatha, will produce another white calf for the Lakota Ranch. The bull will turn 7 on May 16.
