Missing a key fact about Buffalo Bill

水牛比尔历史中心的点评

2026年06月10日发布于: 海外

点评：It seems harsh to give this superb museum – or rather a set of five museums – just three stars out of five. But it seems to conveniently miss a vital point. Whereas it has superb displays explaining the immense achievements and entrepreneurial skill of William Cody, it seems to ignore the role he had in the elimination of both bison and Native Americans. To be fair, this was something he is said to have regretted to an extent later in his life, and he was - it could be argued - merely going along with the requirements of the US government of the time. But it is a shame that the one part of the museum dedicated to Plains Indians makes no reference to the fact that William Cody – Buffalo Bill – was a key character in the elimination of their livelihoods and their lives. He boasted that he had killed more than 4000 bison, and the effect of removing the food supplies of the Native Americans who lived there is undeniable. The museum needs to make this link even if it does not make a judgement on history.

翻译：给这座杰出的博物馆——或者更确切地说，是由五座博物馆组成的建筑群——只打三星（满分五星）似乎有些苛刻。但这似乎有意忽略了一个关键点。尽管博物馆的展品精彩纷呈，展现了威廉·科迪的卓越成就和商业才能，却似乎忽略了他在消灭野牛和美洲原住民中所扮演的角色。平心而论，据说科迪晚年对此有所悔恨，而且——或许有人会说——他只是在顺应当时美国政府的要求。但令人遗憾的是，博物馆中唯一专门介绍平原印第安人的部分，却只字未提威廉·科迪——“野牛比尔”——在摧毁他们的生计和生命方面所扮演的关键角色。他曾吹嘘自己猎杀了超过4000头野牛，而这无疑会剥夺当地美洲原住民的食物来源。即使博物馆不打算对历史做出评判，也应该将这一点联系起来。
