But that's not a buffalo that's a bison.

That was my first reaction. I'll be interested if they address that misnomer in the series.

Nope! I don't think so. I am sure Ken Burns knows they were Bisons but he wanted to call them the "American Buffalo". He wanted to connect them to the American history and landscape.

I read somewhere that there are no indigenous (?) buffalo in North America.

Will the series be shown on public or cable tv? If so, what channel? I have seen all of his series; liked them all. Plus, I need to take a break from Israeli-Hamas news breaks.

It's on PBS. Check your local station as they show things at different times. I have it scheduled to record.

They are bison but, for some reason, people keep referring to them as buffalo. Go figure.
