Family Folklore by Jason A Boss

I am not going to tell ya a family folklore but a folklore from my family tribe the Bannock witch is the same thing as Shoshone as most of you will know it by their just north and south Any way this is my folklore bull lake, on the wind river Indian reservation has a Shoshone name that means buffalo bellowing lake or the lake that roars the lake is situated in a deep canyon and when the wind rushes through the canyon it makes a sound like buffalo bellowing at times some people were afraid to pass the lake or even go near It but medicine men would sometimes spend the night there it hopes of receiving

have been told of this herd was led by an enormous white bull the Indian people believed that a white buffalo had special spiritual significances and they revered this animal they also believed was any man who could kill a white buffalo was super-human. The Shoshones hunted this herd often with some of the hunters hoping to kill a white leader. The buffalo always escaped but one time the hunters were luckier that usual and were able to kill some of the herd. The buffalo became fearful and desperate and in their
effort to get away from the hunters they tried to cross the frozen lake .The ice was not strong enough to support the heavy animals fell through the ice and sank to their death with a great plunging and roaring above all the other bellows could be heard the roar of the white leader as he sank in the icy water to this day a roar often comes up from the depths of the lake .it is thought to come from the spirit of the huge white bull, roaring on and on for ever in protest of the fate that befell him and his herd.

And that is my not so family folklore family folklore/ Native American Shoshone/Bannock. And yet again it not 500 words I know I know I am sorry but that the legend/folklore.
