  • 9 months ago
How the Wild West Was Won with Ray Mears - Great Plains - Ray Mears traverses the vast 500,000 square miles of the Great Plains, a sea of flat, treeless grassland that was the backdrop for epic tales of Native tribes, pioneers, homesteaders, cowboys, and cattle drives that came to define the Wild West. He starts by joining the Blackfeet Nation, gaining insight into how their ancestors relied on the 60 million buffalo that once roamed these grasslands. Ray witnesses their traditional bareback horse riding skills and participates in a ceremonial buffalo hunt and sacrifice, traditions passed down for generations.
