The traditional story is that, long ago, there was a time of famine. The chief of the Lakotas sent out two scouts to hunt for food. As the young men travelled they saw a figure in the distance. As they approached they saw that it was a beautiful young woman in white clothing. One of the men was filled with desire for the woman. He approached her, telling his companion he would attempt to embrace the woman, and if he found her pleasing, he would claim her as a wife. His companion warned him that she appeared to be a sacred woman, and to do anything sacrilegious would be folly. The man ignored the other's advice.
傳說是這樣的，從前有一段飢荒。Lakotas的族長派出兩位斥侯外出尋找食物。斥侯們在路途上看到了一個人。當他們靠近時發現是一位穿着白衣的漂亮女子。其中一位斥侯突然心動，對這位女子一見鐘情。他跟同伴說若果他想上前擁抱她，而若果她合他意，他希望迎聚這女子。但他的同伴提醒他這女子宛如聖人，他的行動可算是褻瀆和愚蠢的。
The companion watched as the other approached and embraced the woman, during which time a white cloud enveloped the pair. After a while, the cloud disappeared and only the mysterious woman and a pile of bones remained. The remaining man was frightened, and began to draw his bow, but the woman beckoned him forward, telling him that no harm would come to him. As the woman spoke Lakota, the young man decided she was one of his people, and came forward. When he arrived, she pointed to a spot on the ground where the other scout's bare bones lay. She explained that the Crazy Buffalo had compelled the man to desire her, and she had annihilated him.
待在原地的斥侯看到同伴走上前擁抱她，這時候兩人被一股白霧所包圍。一會兒後，白霧消散，只餘下女子和一堆白骨。餘下的人害怕了，拉開弓，但女子招手示他靠前，告訴他他不會受到傷害。女子以Lakotas語言與他對話，斥侯認為她是自己的族人，向她走去。當他來到她前，她指了指白骨所在之處。解說道瘋狂的水牛令他想得到她，然後她消滅了他。
The man became even more frightened and again menaced her with his bow. At this time, the woman explained that she was wakan/holy and his weapons could not harm her. She further explained that if he did as she instructed, no harm would befall him and that his tribe would become more prosperous. The scout promised to do what she instructed, and was told to return to his encampment, call the Council and prepare a feast for her arrival.
斥侯更感恐懼了，舉起弓威脅她。這個時候，女子解釋說他的武器並不能傷害她。她繼續說，若果他按她的指示行動，他不會受到任何傷害而他的一族將會生活得更豐盛。斥侯被指示回到他的部落去，通知部落議會準備一場盛宴迎接她的到來。
The woman's name was PtesanWi which translated White Buffalo Calf Woman. She taught the Lakotas seven sacred rituals and gave them the chanunpa or sacred pipe which is the holiest of all worship symbols. After teaching the people and giving them her gifts, PtesanWi left them promising to return. Later, the story became attributed to the goddess Wohpe, also known as Whope, or Wope.
女子名為PtesanWi，翻譯為白色的水牛犢女子。她教導Lakotas族七種神聖儀式和傳授他們chanunpa，神聖的煙斗，在所有象徵性符號內最為神聖之物。當PtesanWi教導和傳授了族人們儀式和贈禮後，PtesanWi與他們承諾，離開後會再次回來。後來，這故事歸屬到女神Wohpe事跡。
When Roman Catholic missionaries first came among the Lakota, their stories of the Virgin Mary and Jesus became associated with the legend of White Buffalo Calf Woman. The syncretic practice of identifying Mary with PtesanWi and Jesus with the chanunpa continues among Lakota Christians to this day.
當羅馬天望教傳教士初次來到Lakota，天主教的聖母馬利亞和耶穌的故事和白色的水牛犢女子故事融而為一。而到現在，Lakota的天主教徒仍將PtesanWi視為聖母馬利亞，Chanunpa視為耶穌。
