Today No people is more conscientious of the environment than Whites. At this time development and expansion of civilization was the priority. We took it too far and now we are correcting that.
This is a very good video. It has given me more information from both 'sides' to understand what is really going on with the issues between Bison and Beef cattle. I am in support of the Bison.
Wow! I had no idea! I was driving across the plains and randomly thought, what is the history of the bison? Why do we not see them outside of the zoo? The comment, the bison were put on a reservation same the Native Americans is spot on! I hope we look at our past mistakes and make changes for our future.
Love the comment: "They de-bufflallo-ed, first; then they de-wolfed; they then de-prarie dogged; and then finally they even de-grassed the land," not realizing they will ultimately "de-humans" from the earth. Men's greed has no bound as they now want to colonize the moon, the mars, and the stars.
Wouldn't be amazing to see thousands of Bison charging across the plains.. What a sight! People from all around the world would come and see this spiritual animal.
When I view "Dances With Wolves" I turn the sound of the buffalo way up to sense what it must have been like back then when the buffalo were running. Even though "bison" is the proper term, I prefer "buffalo" because of the importance and history (and yes, feeling) of that name.
'30 million Bison in beginning of the 19th century' is a modest estimate, and should be added with 'at least'. Many estimates count 50 - 60 million at one time and before 1840. Possibly as many as 80 million animals were slaughtered all together, and the major killing took place from the end of the Civil War and throughout the 1870's.
It is truly amazing to think of that. Hard for us to imagine the sheer scale of the herd back then. More buffalo then than there are cattle now in the US. And all those Buffalo were farting up a storm yet somehow the climate wasn’t damaged.
@@mark2designs607 Oh my gosh, this is one of the best comments I've read on RUclips. It is truly astounding how the most ignorant life forms on the planet (humans) believe the nonsense lies told to them by their propagandist overlords. This documentary was difficult to watch as it exemplifies the soullessness of humanity.
Was always proud of our pure American Bison out in Yosrmite... had watched a vid..on HOW the originally bred Bison were released back into the wilderness. A long story ..find it on you tube. Brilliant idea.
Oh Terri. Sister. Don't you know the word Respect is a white man's word for half truths. Liars use it and it is always followed by Betrayal. Always. No Native Language has this word. None of us use it. Ever. Ask your Elders if you doubt me.
As a native Montanan who grew up eating wild elk, deer, bear and moose, as well as beef, in my opinion bison is better tasting than beef, (and I love a good beef ribeye), and not quite as good as wild deer or elk. Just my opinion. It is very hard to beat a good deer backstrap for breakfast but bison comes pretty close. And the end of the day, I will take any of this meat. Due to competition this will always be a controversial topic. We all have different viewpoints about what is most important and I understand that. So my viewpoint here is only one of what I prefer to eat. Thank you. I just love to eat red meat. My dad was an avid hunter, hunting to supplement food for his family of 6, not for some trophy. We also fished and raised rabbits for food, OH, and ate wild huckleberries. Doesn't get any better in my opinion.
Just wanted a doc. about the Bison after visiting Yellowstone. Well got a whole lot more & thankful for it. If this doesn't impact every person that watches it. The pain caused to the Tribes of North America & the animals. And also we can have a covid vaccine in less than a year but no vaccine for brucellosis!?
You cannot stop animal migration...it's like people in Africa trying to stop the zebra and wilderbeast migration.Or stopping the elephants from migration in the same route that they've taken for thousands of years! The buffalos need to take their calves to greener pastures to feed. GOOD JOB Lilburn!!!
Great documentary. There are European Forest Bison. They were nearly extinct but are being reintroduced in a few areas. There are some cool documentaries about them.
Yellowstone bison have the finest remaining genetics. It’s all wasted for the goddamn greed of the livestock industry. These animals are so valuable to future herds it’s a crime the decisions being made. They need to be used to start and strengthen both wild and domestic herds.
I’m only an hour and some from Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump, and proud it was made into a heritage site. I have Native roots on two sides, though from the east coast, not the prairies
When we went to Yellowstone to cross-country ski we saw Bison (Buffalo) they scared us so much because they (the Buffalo) could shove aside heavy snow to eat the grass. I was terrified when crossing a bridge because there was a calf on the right side of the road alone. I was scared because I was worried his or her mother was on the left side with the rest of the herd. Eventually, I went before the calf. I’ll never forget that eye it had on me that I saw!
The poor Indians didn’t realize that setting the plains on fire in order to drive whole herds of bison off of cliffs would dramatically reduce the numbers.
I have issues with cattlemen who raise bison like cattle when they are not and grain fed. Ninety eight percent of bison are finished in feedlots. These were the engineers of the prairies and the migrations in the millions built the agriculture of this county. Sadly the soil is being mined and depleted through industrial agriculture. I have purchased from Wild Idea where the raise bison or buffalo with integrity and processed on the land and treated with dignity and ceremonially slaughtered.
It is HUGE farmland ... Mostly field corn ... Because the Stupid 'Mericans believe Ethanol is gonna keep gas prices down, carbon low, Climate Change halted or at the least, lessened.
@@adamatova we all suffer, the people and land is cursed by the Creator, when Jesus returns we will have the new heaven and the new earth, there will be no death, as in the beginning. Evil will be destroyed.
Millions of Bison hides , literally a "PILED UP " to their God's of Greed.. Most DISGUSTING sight to.gaze upon.....AND sight of animal abuse & cruelty, at 1 time... known to the planet. I love animals...period!
I ran into a herd of Buffalo once tripping on LSD in the dead of night, true story. It happened at the far end of Golden Gate Park, I had no idea they were there.
It is amazing how the discussion of any population of animals, including the comments below, must always include a significant aspect of virtue signaling. When causes become the way we try to add meaning to our lives, it is founded on an act of selfishness that always shines through such pathetic attempts at pleasing ourselves. As a result, these causes only get attention when the camera is running.
Kansas! Notoriously nondescript and boring, I have done a lot of road trips in my time, and Kansas is one of those states I avoid, just because it is one of the most boring states to drive across. Who would think of putting an actual national park there? There are no forests worth mentioning, or spectacular natural wonders to speak of.... But here is the perfect answer, Kansas! Make this Buffalo Commons a reality, it will definitely bring me to your state! It would be a beautiful thing to have somewhere other than Yellowstone to see these magnificent beasts have another large area to roam freely. It would be an excellent way to put Kansas on the map while doing something noble and awesome at the same time.
14:05 - the relationship between the Bison and the Native Indigenous people is told as being built upon respect for the sacredness of the animal, a respect for nature and it's karmic laws. I am unsure how developing a hunting strategy which appears to take advantage of the Bison's natural behaviour to bring about it's own death, thus evading karmic responsibility for their wrongdoing, as 'respectful'? By driving fear into the pack they create panic behaviour, they know this produces a fixed action from the animal - run. Where one goes, they all go. Dressing up to deceive others into wrongly following you over a cliff also appears to be fine and dandy in the eyes of karma, because that's what they're doing here.
A serious question please? Do you white people feel any sense of shame of the damage you’ve done to the animals, land and the native PEOPLE of America? I emphasise the word people because in this narrative you say “when people came to America and started depopulating the bison”…….so what do you deem the Native Americans, are they not “people”? 🤷🏽♂️😕
If they're worried about spread of disease then vaccinate the livestock. The Bison should not be this stressed during migration. This is OUtrageous. Talking Animal Cruelty!
It was very sad to see this documentary and to see how much ignorance can come from uneducated, stupid people!!!!! There's no other way to call it. I hope, the US government including the State of Montana, changes their view on this! We need to bring bisons to the plains, respect them as they were once respected by American Indians! IF you do not understand something, you learn, you educate yourself!
Love this. Their intelligence is astounding. To think they don't have feeling or empathy is ignorant.
Animals all have feeling and should be treated as such and well.
It’s not just ignorant, it’s astounding!!
We are so disrespectful to wildlife. It’s so sad.
Today No people is more conscientious of the environment than Whites. At this time development and expansion of civilization was the priority. We took it too far and now we are correcting that.

There was man who lived alongside, tho b4 European came along😂😂😂
The poor buffalo also got placed on a reservation, if you think about it. I really hope they roam free, again, one day.
They try to break out of Yellowstone, only to get killed. It's really all in the film.
Just like my friend. We call him Cherokee lee.
@@perspellman they shouldn’t have to be murdered tho just because they want to leave the park. They don’t know where these invisible lines are.
I hope the numbers start to grow. They are only a benefit to the lands.
A+ Doc. I learned many things about our history. Please save the Bison.
Wouldn't be amazing to see thousands of Bison charging across the plains..

It should be millions upon millions roaming across the plains but our own government screwed that up. Like usual the government screws everything up.

Very well learning video too me Thank you and

When We moved to a new neighborhood in Colorado Springs, Reed Ranch, I told others that the animals were here first!

The five cent coins 1920 is very much important for my, for my live, all May live. It's all my lovely simbols for APACHES and Bison, for ever.

If nobody lives out on the plains why do we care if the bison live on the land?

They have a right to exist on their native lands. The plains also exist the way they do thanks to their ecological niche

Gray pack of food
The question is how to manage populations.
The cruel Anglo-Saxons destroyed the Indians and bison!
