The beast’s near-extermination had a devastating effect on Native American tribes
The “Ken Burns effect” is a film technique popularised by the American documentary film-maker, where a camera pans across a still photograph and makes it appear to move. However, there is another Ken Burns effect that is far more important. For 40-odd years Mr Burns has focused America’s attention on some of its most difficult chapters.
“We are brothers, we are related,” M. Scott Momaday, a Kiowa poet, says in the film. “We have regard for each other.” That regard was trampled by the voracious appetite of an expanding United States. Between 1805, when Meriwether Lewis and William Clark first traversed the continent, and the 1860s, the buffalo’s numbers fell from probably 30m-60m to fewer than 15m. Then, over the next decade, they were almost wiped out.
