Well, that can’t be a good omen.

Yellowstone National Park’s mystical white bison calf — which fulfills a Native American prophecy of prosperity to come — is missing.

Wakan Gli, which means “Return Sacred” in Lakota, has not been seen since its birth on June 4, the National Parks Service said Friday.

“To date, park staff have been unable to locate the calf,” the agency said in a statement.

The tiny prophecy was first spotted earlier this month grazing a field in the lush Lamar Valley, sticking close to its mother.

American bison once flourished across the United States, from the western tip of New York state to the eastern edges of Oregon. These magnificent creatures, which can weigh up to 2,000 pounds, were vital as a food source for Indigenous peoples and figured heavily in their history, culture, and beliefs. While millions of bison once roamed the plains, colonial efforts to eradicate them were also an attack on Native culture and resistance to U.S. expansion. Today, while more stable, the wild bison population is only about 30,000. One more extra special individual creature was recently added to this number: a rare white bison calf, born in Yellowstone National Park, spotted by Montana-based photographer Erin Braaten. This remarkable sighting is deeply meaningful to Indigenous religions, as white bison calves hold a sacred significance.

A teenager has died after she was attacked by a bear on a hiking trip in Romania.

Maria Diana, 19, was hiking in the Bucegi mountains with her boyfriend when a bear appeared on the hiking track.

Tragically Ms. Diana was on the phone to emergency services when the bear grabbed her leg and dragged her off a 400-foot cliff.

Rescuers said Ms. Diana’s injuries were “incompatible with life.”

Dan Banu, head of the local mountain rescue service, told local media: “She was terrified…you can tell, she was screaming: ‘The bear is getting closer and closer!’

According to the Library of Congress, the period of the American West was between 1865 and 1900 and was a time that saw a great deal of turbulence. After 1840, the west saw significant settlement and substantial growth following the Civil War. The Indian Appropriations Act of 1851 facilitated the forced relocation of Native Americans to reservations, opening up previously claimed lands to white settlers eager to stake their claims in the West.
