The TV landscape is shifting, but there’s one thing we can still count on: the arrival of a riveting new Ken Burns documentary. The documentarian extraordinaire has once again teamed up with PBS, this time for The American Buffalo, which provides an eye-opening look at the history of the bison.
The two-part documentary premiered October 16, and is now streaming on the PBS site and app. Burns’ usual meditative approach serves him well as he and his team track 10,000 years of North American history, following the bison from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Erie to Florida, when they numbered in the tens of millions, sharing an ecosystem with Indigenous peoples for millennia. The bison has always been more than just a source of food for Indigenous peoples. As the Pulitzer-winning Kiowa author N.

Rooted in the recognition of the rich storytelling cultures and inherent sovereignty of Native American nations, Sundance Institute has held a commitment to Native artists since its founding. Mandated by our Founder Robert Redford, the Institute has nurtured and supported Native filmmakers going back to a time when almost none existed. Since then, the Institute has supported three generations of Native filmmakers, creating a global community and providing a space for that community with the Native Program and a gathering place at the Sundance Film Festival. Today, there are more Native filmmakers working than ever before, and the Institute is bringing forward a fourth generation of Native filmmakers and solidifying a pipeline of artists whose voices will have an important impact on American and global cinema and culture.
