I know there isn't a Ted Nugent song about a Great White Deer...

That's probably because Ted prepared it with a black raspberry sauce instead. (I understand that there is a prohibition against hunting white deer, that's what one of my coworkers was saying anyway)
The deer are to the Eastern Woodlands Indians as the Buffalo is to the Plains Tribes, so it is likely that there are legends that refer to it.
Unfortunately most of them have been either assimilated or killed off and many of the teachings are lost. I do have emails out to a couple of people who might know.
I might also give a try at emailing the Lenni Lenape Musuem in Allentown, just in case.
SIDE NOTE: Miracle, the White Buffalo, died recently, after having fulfilled the prophecy (born white, and then shifted through color phases of each of the rest of the directions ... yellow, red, and black.)
