You may have heard about Ken Burn's new @PBS documentary series "The American Buffalo," which uses archival sources of naturalist George Bird Grinnell. Did you know the ATM holds cylinder recordings made by Grinnell in 1897-1898? About the documentary: pbs.org/kenburns/the-america…

About the Film | The American Buffalo | Ken Burns | PBS

The American Buffalo is the biography of an improbable, shaggy beast that has found itself at the center of many of the country’s most mythic and heartbreaking tales.

Please note: While the collections recorded by Grinnell (catalog records linked above), and many others, are digitized and in our online streaming platform, ATM policy requires appropriate Tribal permission before access to any Indigenous cultural material can be provided.
