InLakota mythology, Wóȟpe (less correctly spelled "Wohpe") is a spirit of peace, the daughter of Wi and the Moon, Haŋhépi-Wi. She is the wife of the south wind. When she visited the Earth, she gave the Lakota people a pipe as a symbol of peace.[1] Later, Wóȟpe became conflated with White Buffalo Calf Woman.[2][3] An alternative name for Wóȟpe is Ptehíŋčalasaŋwiŋ.
As a symbol of Wophe's coming to earth she is often associated with falling stars.
