Buffalo: Sacred & Sacrificed by historian, animal husbandry expert, and environmentalist Grant MacEwan is a comprehensive survey and compelling examination spanning centuries at a wild species of animal whose very existence was nearly eliminated by the expanse of New World colonialism. From the buffalo's ecology, to its unique place in Native American history and lore, to its modern-day existence relegated to a role on ranches and farms, Buffalo: Sacred And Sacrificed covers just about everything there is to know about this majestic beast, and how human beings have interacted with it across changing times. A superb reference, printed on heavy glossy stock paper and illustrated with black-and-white photographs and sketches, Buffalo: Sacred & Sacrificed is an enthusiastically recommended addition to school and community library wildlife reference collections.
