    What's ironic is that the U.S. government began styling itself as savior of the bison around the time they were approaching extinction (with natives confined to reservations, the tourist appeal of the bison outweighed subjugation concerns). Classic U.S. politics.

      Don't be mistaken the anti-native sentiment hasn't gone away. Because the Reservations are free from state regulations, they become targets for water contamination, waste dumping, air pollution, mining waste etc. The responsibility of dealing with it usually ends up falling on the local tribal governments.

    I can never unlearn the horrifying truths from the Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. That day they had a comprehensive exhibit about the treaties that Indian nations made with European settlers from the colonial period well into the 19th century. The story begins OK, but over time as America becomes more powerful the treaties become more transactional and their violation more common. Our country is "built" on values of freedom, liberty justice and whatnot, which sounds genuinely absurd, as the entire country was stolen from a people who were slaughtered and displaced, to make way for a people who were also displaced to work as slaves for the powerful white minority. This country was built on a stagnant pool of blood. The founders extolled enlightenment values at the same time that they were oppressing every non-white non-male group.

      Thank you for this note. Learning this history does not mean someone should feel shame for being a US citizen. However, refusing to learn this history or barring others from learning this history is shameful. The electorate can choose how to proceed with this knowledge, whether to accept the past while making no changes, or to help undo a small fraction of the harms done to families who have less because their ancestors were oppressed. Whatever the decision, I hope people can be brave and honest to make decisions with their eyes wide open.

    Sometimes I am glad Bisons are still alive, but what the US did was unforgivable, trying to get rid of a species that survived the last Ice Age, only for it be at the edge of extinction. I remembered reading the same thing about Wisents in the Caucasus, that unfortunately went extinct, while the European Bison only managed to survive in Poland. But the biggest tragedy in wild cattle are the Aurochs, the Aurochs faced a devastated loss up until the second half of the 17th to the first half of the 18th century when the last wild Auroch became extinct, whereas the African Aurochs became extinct during the Roman Empire. Sometimes I just wish I could see those last remaining ice age megafauna in our modern world.

    This played out almost exactly like the Irish Potato 'Famine'. In fact during this time period the Choctaw people sent aid to help the starving people in Ireland. In Co. Cork they have built a statue in gratitude of the Choctaw. It's called 'Kindred Spirits'. Like the Native Americans, the Irish were driven off their own land. When the 'famine' occurred we could not even forage or hunt on our own land since it was owned by the British. We did not even own the crops we grew, since they 'belonged' to the British landowners. When the Choctaw people heard of such a similar plight they sent the money to Ireland.

    Bison were targeted as a way to subdue Native American populations who relied on them for food, shelter, and cultural purposes. Additionally, the expansion of railroads and settlement led to bison being seen as a hindrance, as their massive herds obstructed railway tracks and grazing land for cattle. The decimation of bison herds was also a tactic to control and weaken Indigenous peoples, as well as to open up the land for settlement and development.

      @@uanime1 I'm guessing that there might have been situations where the number of bison 🦬 driven off a cliff exceeded a Native American tribe's ability to use all of the dead bison meat at the bottom of the cliff.

    I don't want to turn this immensely useful video of American history into a screaming match but in light of the recent Israel-Palestine conflict going on, you can't help but notice the similarities.
    It's the same formula. Push people off into isolated areas. Cut off their means of survival and watch every move of theirs with mistrust and prejudice.
    For the natives, it was bison. For the Palestinians, it's olives.
    It's just a repetition of the same heartless and sadistic rules.
