The American bison is the new U.S. national mammal, but its slaughter was once seen as a way to starve Native Americans into submission. General William Tecumseh Sherman vivid hate for the natives was just as ironic as his middle name because it’s one of a native chief. The massacre of the Buffalo was to make way for white settlers and get rid of the “Indian problem” with it. A main food source taken to cause mass genocide by starvation and submission. #nativetiktok #nativeamerican #bison #history #extinct #genocide #fyp
