According to Edison film historian C. Musser, this film and others shot on the same day featured Native American Indian dancers from Buffalo Bill’s Wild West show, and constitutes the American Indian’s first appearance before a motion picture camera.

American Bison:

The only continuously wild bison herd in the United States resides within Yellowstone National Park. Numbering between 3,000 and 3,500, this herd is descended from a remnant population of 23 individual mountain bison that survived the mass slaughter of the 1800s by hiding out in the Pelican Valley of Yellowstone Park. In 1902, a captive herd of 21 Plains bison were introduced to the Lamar Valley and managed as livestock until the 1960s, when a policy of natural regulation was adopted by the park.

Whoever writes Steap and Cheap’s Daily Dose is a genius. Today’s email:

A guy I met said that he was looking through some photos he’d shot during a long solo hiking trip when he got back home, and he found a photo of himself sleeping peacefully in his tent from the middle of his trip. Either he has a camera remote or wolves have developed opposable thumbs and we’re all screwed. The story creeped me out at first, but now it just seems funny that someone would go through a guy’s pack while he’s asleep, take a picture of him with his own camera, and then put the camera back. This kind of behavior is something I will definitely engage in if ever given a chance.

Tearjerker..
