Bison have been in the news recently. The Interior Department
this past week released $5 million to help fund both bison
restoration and grasslands rehabilitation. And next month Ken
Burns and Dayton Duncan will release their latest documentary, The
American Buffalo. The American Buffalo documentary traces the
history of how bison nearly went extinct, and how they came back.
It will be delivered in a two-part, four-hour series on public
television.
Earlier this summer I talked to Dayton Duncan about the project,
and we’re rerunning that conversation to remind you of the
documentary that is set to debut on October 16.
