Episode Summary
In this episode of “Storyville” on BBC Four, viewers are taken on a historical journey through America’s past, with a focus on a creature that played a crucial role in shaping the nation – the buffalo. For thousands of years, this national mammal existed in abundance, sustaining the Native people of the Great Plains and establishing a profound spiritual connection with their cultures.
However, by the 1880s, the buffalo faced a dire fate, pushed to the brink of extinction due to the impact of newcomers to the continent. In this compelling narrative, Ken Burns unfolds the story of the collision between longstanding traditions and the rapid changes brought about by the influx of settlers. Viewers can expect a nuanced exploration of this pivotal period in American history, shedding light on the ecological and cultural consequences of the buffalo’s decline.
