Description: Companion website to the documentary film presented by ITVS which presents information about the controversial killing of America's last wild buffalo, a herd said to be carrying a disease that poses a threat to neighboring livestock. Film chronicles the clash between Native Americans, ranchers, government officials, and environmental activists over the destruction since 1985 of more than 3,000 free-roaming bison when they migrated out of Yellowstone National Park in search of food. Also described is the 500-mile spiritual march across Montana by Native Americans who objected to the killings.
