Putting myself into perspective of these hunter gatherers, I could 100% see it as they found a great way to kill a load of big game for food and making stuff out of their bones and hide etc. But given that this method of hunting results in a large number of big game being killed simultaneously, it’s nearly impossible to harvest all of them. So they definitely just took advantage of this hunting method because it was easy to kill a lot and they would just take whatever they wanted or how much they could get. I mean we do that nowadays too, it’s not like hunter gatherers back then were any different than humans now. Not everyone back then used 100% of their resources efficiently and optimally.

I always understood "Nothing was wasted" as they found a use for every single component of the animal from the meat to the horns and even including specific organs or other tissues. course not every animal is perfectly the same in the wild. some pelts may be damaged and wounded, those same wounded animals having infection setting in or even maggots living in dead tissue, you wouldn't eat the meat of that animal. Horns may be broken thus rendering their intended purpose. I dont doubt that a whole group of people could process a herd of buffalo over the course of a whole day, but there would definitely be parts that would have been deemed "undesirable" in some way, I just assumed that was a given.

@@star08094they left some intentionally for the wild life to feast on as well to keep everything balanced and fed

Right. I love the native history but the fact we look at them as this holier than us wiser than us is just silly

Yup they only show you photos of white men standing on top of bison skulls meanwhile natives are portrayed as protectors of nature when in reality the natives caused extinction of so many megafauna in the Americas

They dried the meats out, often broke it down and make into a certain mixture that sustained them throughout winters. It also helped sustain those from the North West Company when they settled souther Manitoba and were starving, and the native bands saved them with it

Christianity is the only salvation

People R all the same, only circumstances change

I think it needs to be more under rated this thing looks like bottom trash

​@erickrivera9466 do better?

It's from a mini-series called "Into the west"

Me too 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Same ngl

They used every part of them, they feasted, dried the meat and tongues for winter storage, the hides for shields, tipis and winter robes, and the rest for trading meat for fish, berries, fruits from neighbouring coastal British Columbians and eventually for pots, precious medals, spices and gunpowder during the days of the Indian wars.

​@@blackforeheadWhy do you lie, there are archeological records of meat rotting. Archeologist called it gourmet feasting. They took selective and calorie dense parts and left the rest They did take as much as they but the rest were left to nature. They were not evil for doing this but people should not defend them

It’s a UNESCO World Heritage Site for Cultural Significance so I don’t think I’m the only person defending them, the whole world is defending them culturally 😄

@@blackforehead I meant we shouldn't defend their practice of massacring of entire herd 🦬 of calf and cows. They believed if they allowed a single calf to survive it would warn others. Just because its world heritage site doesn't change that. We should not blame them for it But we should acknowledge the harmful cultural and survival practice of native Americans that led to extinction of North American mega fauna

i'm not sure what you're trying to say here, but if you mean that native americans shouldn't be pulled up from a cliff because their ancestors hunted bison like this, then i want to sincerely apologize for the fact that a literal hunter gatherer society did not have vegan options and had to survive like this. we'll be sure to account for your fragility in the future

@@mishchayt I said what I said, clear as day. You can try to find your own meanings and what I said but it's clear as day what I said and a message that was meant to be conveyed. Take your time to read it

@@mishchayt it literally went over your head huh.

​@@mishchaytTwitter is that way

@@mishchaytThe way the other hunter helped his buddy was quite reckless and stupid and there were a lot of better way to pull him in and help him onto the ledge.

Wrong

It was sad when the white people nearly drove them to extinction by killing so many so the first nations people could not survive off them

It’s a good thing

Cycle of life buddy, and no disrespect to them but buffalos are probably one of the most dumbest beasts on the earth😂😂😂😂

@@T1NGBUBBA Alright, go up to one and say it to it's face then since you're clearly smarter.

the american and canadian governments purposely hunted the bison to near extinction so the indigenous people couldn’t hunt and rely on them for food.

Factz💯

It was actually the competition between the north west company and the Hudson’s bay company that depleted the supply of the buffalo and other animals. Basically they wanted to be rich and have nice things so they hunted all the buffalo they could.

So yes it was the white man

It was the white man.

And for most of their history they didn't have horses, right?

@@jebwoodford1233 America didn't have any horses between the Ice age and Spanish exploration.

exactly, they run as fast as a car on a highway and hit like a train lmao

What is politics

The land will be saved from you as well.. when the the earth is cleansed, no one will go unscathed

As an American, I’m just letting you know we don’t claim you lol

Feral? Maybe, but a despicable act? Not at all cause people gotta eat. Plus buffalos are some dumb animals tbh😂😂

Aight Columbus, chill

disgusting how you use the title 'american' yet are such a disgrace to the first peoples. i encourage you to read even just a single wikipedia article about the decline of bison or the genocide of native americans, and remove this hatred that has clearly possessed you to the core

Yes! Please say the truth loud and clear. So many ridiculous myths surrounding the savage feral humans that were parasites on the land before European settlers arrived.

@@AmericanMadeAdventures lol whoa ease up there.

Bro did you also miss the part where it says they depended on these hunts for survival? Sorry they didn’t have vegan options or organic stuff to choose from at their local sprouts back then. How old are you?

Was it just a case of "I can, so why not !" They were "primitive" at the time. Survival and Tribalism must have been tough..... But now everyone in the USA has access to a McDonald's without fear of death and on a more humane scale for the animal👍🏼.

Hey don't forget, First Nations people are a diverse people, it's like saying Europeans are all colonizers when people in the Balkans are just vibing. Not every group is gonna be great at conservation, not every group is gonna colonize. Sincerely, an indian
