“The American Buffalo” is a two-part, four-hour gem of a documentary that tells the story of the bison and the people who revered them. It’s another masterpiece from filmmaker Ken Burns.
In a video news conference with TV critics, Burns acknowledged “it is, at times, incredibly difficult to watch.” The slaughter reduced a population estimated at 60 million animals to maybe 1,000. And it doesn’t reflect well on the United States as settlers moved west. Part 2 is about the long and difficult effort to save the buffalo. There are an estimated 350,000 bison in America today. Native Americans oversee about 20,000 of them; federal and state preserves are home to another 20,000; and the rest are in private herds, “many of them confined like cattle, fattened in feedlots, raised for slaughter,” according to the documentary.Conservationists hope that buffalo once again live on vast grasslands.
A limited number of bison hunting permits are issued each year — it varies year to year, and it’s a lottery. “The odds of drawing are very, very low. It’s a high-demand, low-supply opportunity,” said Robinson. If they were “left to their own devices,” the bison could end up just about anywhere. Robinson said that when they were first transplanted to the Henry Mountains from Yellowstone in 1941, “one of them ended up at Strawberry Valley” west of Provo, “and another one was almost to Arizona.
