The Buffalo Bill Center of the West is hosting Wyoming PBS for a special screening event from 5:30-7 p.m. Oct. 24. See clips of the Ken Burns film “The American Buffalo,” and the full documentary “Homecoming,” followed by a Q&A and an hors d’oeuvre reception.
“The American Buffalo,” a four-hour, two-part documentary that premiered Oct. 16 on PBS, takes viewers on a journey through more than 10,000 years of North American history and landscapes, tracing the buffalo’s evolution, significance to the Great Plains, near demise, and relationship to Indigenous Peoples. See a 27-minute clip reel from the film at this event.
Following the clip reel, watch the 22-minute documentary “Homecoming,” which chronicles the rebuilding of the enduring relationship of Native American communities to the buffalo. It follows Jason Baldes as he leads historic transfers of bison to tribal lands. Baldes is the museum’s special guest, and joins for a Q&A with Wyoming PBS’s Chief Executive Officer Joanna Kail following the film.
The evening ends with a reception of light hors d’oeuvres.
