I mean, it was kind of a big deal and directly related to the demise of the bison.
I don't know if you watched the show and saw the part about Teddy Roosevelt when they were talking about how he and other hunters in the late 1800's thought white men were becoming soft and hunting was a way to prove you're manly. But the woman made some comment about how he wanted to prove white supremacy and masculinity(I'm paraphrasing). Made it sound like it had nothing to do with what we did to the Indians.

Was amazing how a species was almost driven to extinction in 100 yrs ... they said its the largest mass killing of a species by man to date, I may have a bone to pick w that. The demise of the cod on the east coast is probably greater based on biomass but it took a few hundred yrs to overfish it.
Saw a "wild" herd of Buffalo in Colorado a gew yrs back in a fed/state park, damn impressive animals. On a personal note they mention buffalo bill in series, my G grandpa saw Buffalo bill at an show in buffalo ny, i remember seeing the notice as a boy and asking him about it. Ya csb

The part I saw was about how the US government rounded up Indian tribes, both Allie’s and foes alike, and live them off buffalo grazing lands and onto controlled reservations.
