PRESS RELEASE - MAY 4, 2012
Lightning Medicine Cloud, a true, spiritual blessing was born at the Lakota Ranch on May 12, 2011, has now joined his earth father and our heavenly father. Also, Lightning's mother, "Buffalo Woman", also went on to join her son one day after burying Lightning.
There is an internal investigation through Hunt County Sheriff and Homeland Security in process, and a $5,000 reward offered for any information leading to the arrest and conviction of those involved in the premeditated crime deaths of Lightning Medicine Cloud and his mother, Buffalo Woman. Thus far, the investigation has concluded that neither were killed by natural causes. This crime is too senseless to imagine and our hearts are heavy with sadness.
The Greenville Scholarship Powwow scheduled for May 11-12, 2012 will proceed as planned, and will continue to celebrate the birth of a rare, non-albino, white, male buffalo who was brought in by God, but taken out by hands of evil people. We welcome one and all to join us for the Traditional Scholarship Powwow that Greenville has hosted for the past 18 years, which will be held at the Lakota Ranch in Greenville, TX.
As we mourn the death of Lightning Medicine Cloud and his mother, it is so important to us that his legacy will forever live on through the message he brought as, "The Hope of All Nations". Lightning was brought in as a spiritual blessing from God and taken out by the hands of evil people. We will gird ourselves with new strength, as we know this terrible crime will NOT go unsolved, and there will be closure for us all, and consequences for those who did it.
May you all rest in peace, dearest Gentle Ben, Lightning Medicine Cloud, and Buffalo Woman.
You will be missed very much, but NEVER forgotten. It has been our honor to have taken care of you and shared in your greatness.

(10 January 2012) Greenville, TX – Lakota Ranch has announced the Annual Greenville Scholarship Native American Powwow will be held on May 11th–12th , 2012, instead of the third weekend in January.
The 18th Annual Greenville Scholarship Native American Powwow which has for years been a celebration of Native American culture, will continue as part of a larger event to celebrate the birthday of Lightning Medicine Cloud, a white, male buffalo calf born on May 12, 2011.

The Powwow in Greenville features several champions in Native American dancing, competing in various styles, as well as vendors offering Native American food, arts and crafts. Participants come from Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas and New Mexico. Over the years, the Greenville Scholarship Native American Powwow has grown into one of the largest gatherings in the State of Texas for Native American culture.
The 1st Annual Lightning Medicine Cloud Birthday and Powwow begins a new era celebrating the gift of the white buffalo calf to the people and Lakota Ranch in 2011. The two-day event will feature Native American dance competition, music, art, food and more, as an honor to Lightning Medicine Cloud and his message of unity and hope.
The calf was born May 12, 2011 during a thunderstorm, and the very rare, non-albino, white buffalo male calf is considered a blessing by Native Americans. “We are excited to continue to honor and learn from this gift of Lightning Medicine Cloud,” says Arby Little Soldier. He adds “The birthday and Powwow in May will be an exciting event celebrating the miracle of Lightning Medicine Cloud.”

Lakota Ranch News
Lakota Ranch is saddened to announce the passing of "Gentle Ben".
Last Tues. (April 3rd ) during the storms and tornadoes, we lost "Ben",our 8 yr. old bull (Lightning's daddy). He was struck by a huge bolt of lightning in the pasture and was blown up, about 50 feet away from Arby.
We were very sad, but trust that he did not feel anything since it happened.
Rest In Peace our Dear Ben..
