Blood Memory: The Tragic Decline and Improbable Resurrection of the American Buffalo
The epic story of the buffalo in America, from prehistoric times to today—a moving and beautifully illustrated work of natural history.
@DoomsdaysCW Watched #AmericanBuffalo by #KenBurns last night and it makes me mad enough that I want to go back in time and hunt down whomever created the perverse incentives to #extinct the Buffalo.
Check out the Buffalo Field Campaign for _Current_ efforts the preserve the Yellowstone Buffalo and their habitat around the park.

Even better than watching another documentary by #KenBurns called The #AmericanBuffalo
Get involved in an org directly protecting the Buffalo through the #BuffaloFieldCampaign
Buffalo Field Campaign is fundraising to support Indigenous participation in their upcoming #TribalBisonSummit.
Every little bit helps encourage broad participation. This is what solidarity looks like.
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."
