Translating...
While driving back from my in-laws on May 25, 2008 my husband and I decided that this is the second time the House and go through Evergreen, CO. It was a beautiful day and we had enjoyed our day with my husband's family I had my camera in the bag, and mine was very pleased with the pictures I took in Denver, a family event. When all of a sudden my husband and I had to stop the car to some white-tailed deer were crossing the road, it is quite normal in spring and summer here in the mountains of Colorado. My husband and I looked at the right side where there were deer crossing out and noticed the most beautiful places we've ever seen! I really can not tell if this is true albino yearling deer, but it was all white. I immediately told my husband to pull over! I had a camera in my hand! So he stopped the car and went back up the road a little ways and was on the right side of the road! I started shooting about 50 feet and you can draw your conclusions on the picture if it was true albino or white, white tail deer.
...I've lived up in the mountains of Colorado for over 35 years and that was the first time I ever heard of it. I felt very privileged to see this awesome site. I felt God was showing me the beauty that he creates. I told my mother about the deer and she told me, she saw 20 years ago albino Elk and she wishes she would have had a camera like I did. She was seen in albino los conifers. Being a native of Colorado I have been blessed with the opportunity cost of wildlife that lives here. I'd much rather shoot camera then a gun, I understand about hunting and why we do it. In fact I really like the game and other wild life of meat. I want to leave it to hunters and I will shoot with the camera.
...I was so excited about taking pictures, and I came home and began researching the legends and rare white deer. There are many legends related to the albino and white deer, mostly of Indian religion. Now before getting into all the legends and rarity, my personal feeling is no matter what the facts I give you here, I believe that God created an awesome, breath taking animals and what I saw, I still remember how I felt when I took those pictures . (It is indescribable and I hope you can feel that way some day)
...In my research I found out that they are rare, only 1 in 30,000, white or albino. Albino fawns rarely reach adulthood due to predators. Apart from the fact that they are white and they can not hide in their environment, and they usually have one or more of the following genetic problems: Poor eyesight, poor hearing, and deformities of the feet and legs. It is also the reason that adult albino deer have a life expectancy of only 3-4 years. They make easy targets for hunters and predators. To albino fawn that is born both parents have to be albino, or if both parents carry the albino gene (they will usually be in color) have a 1 in 4 chance of producing calves that is albino.
...White Deer is not a story or legend, but a spiritual truth that has been passed from one generation to the Lenape people.
The white deer, such as the Western White Buffalo First Nation tribes, is the Holy Spirit. White Deer is a messenger like many true stories of holy men of the First Nations. Most of all every Indian tribe had a sort of "spirit" belief in the albino animals. Albino was protected by most Native American customs. Within the northeastern Woodlands, Leni Lenape, Susquehannock, Iroquois (Six Nations) etc. One primary principle: Albino is being hunted or killed. This taboo on various curses. I hope that these hunters are listening to this part. There are many other dear why take a white anyway?
My conclusions are, I feel very privileged and honored that my husband and we were able to see something so rare, so beautiful, so breathtaking. I know I'll keep this in my experience and I will never forget that day or that moment when I took those pictures that white, white tail deer. Go to my resources area, you can go to the mountain girl web site and look at the awesome site.
