As a renowned ceremonial artist making sculptural works of great beauty and power, Heyoka has brought forth more fertile work of remarkable potency in the White Buffalo Woman Trilogy. In this set of books, Heyoka offers his own creative account of White Buffalo Calf Woman, the story of the holy woman messenger and messiah, a primary mythos among the Lakota and other Plains Indians.

Heyoka's life is informed by Creator/Creatoress as reflected through nature, whether it is in his own personal spirit questing, working as a renowned visual artist, or in this work, intended to be the grateful giveaway of his lifelong wisdom gathering.

Heyoka has entered the Sacred Void and brought back a living story showing strength that comes from living in harmony with spiritual Source and nature. Like his radiant and vibrant ceremonial art, the work in this trilogy is luminous with the power of the spirit. Its message is an inspiring call to greater awareness and action; as humans, it is our work to create ways to live in sustainable community together.

Having come back from another deep quest, this visionary medicine man has digested understanding from many strands of the world's spiritual traditions to produce this notable work. True to the Native phrase, "All My Relations," the White Buffalo Woman Trilogy offers a vision that addresses the universal spirit in one and all.

Regarding the Native prophecy of the White Buffalo, Heyoka has commented that "the birth of many white buffalo calves in the past few years is a sign that this archetypal peacemaking power has returned to the earth."
