The #AmericanBuffalo
A New Documentary from #KenBurns Now Streaming"The American #Buffalo, a new two-part, four-hour series, takes viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of North American history and across some of the continent’s most iconic landscapes, tracing the animal’s evolution, its significance to the #IndigenousPeople and landscape of the #GreatPlains, its near extinction, and the efforts to bring the magnificent mammals back from the brink.
"For thousands of generations, buffalo (species #bison bison) have evolved alongside #IndigenousPeople who relied on them for food and shelter, and, in exchange for killing them, revered the animal. The stories of Native people anchor the series, including the #Kiowa, #Comanche, and #Cheyenne of the Southern Plains; the #Lakota, #Salish, #Kootenai, #Mandan-#Hidatsa, and #Blackfeet from the Northern Plains; and others."
