re: The American Buffalo on LPB is worth watching.

I caught the first episode and to think all those animals were slaughtered just for their hides and tongues with the meat left to rot on the plains is typical of the mentality of people back then. To realize that in about 80 years they were almost hunted to extinction is mind blowing to me.



The hunters deeply impacted the lives of Native American Tribes who hunted them to feed their families, make warm clothing, build their teepees, utilize the tendons for bowstrings, etc. I can understand why they were so pissed off at the white man.
