Detailed explanation-1: -Army commanders who operated in the West often attempted to drive the Indians off of desired lands by killing the buffalo as a way to deprive the Indians of supplies. Between 1872 and 1875, only three years, hunters killed 9 million buffalo, most often taking the skin and leaving the carcass to rot in waste.
Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: It is estimated that there was approximately 30 million buffalo roaming the American West when white settlers arrived. Buffalo were integral to Native American survival, and westward expansion devastated the population.
Detailed explanation-3: -By the year 1885 the buffalo herd had decreased to 200. Native Americans believe that this policy was out in place to weaken them. Their numbers decreased as well. The slaughter of the buffalo and lack of food caused the tribes to become ill and die of diseases.
Detailed explanation-4: -Western settlers were threatened by the nomadic ways of the Plains Indians, who for thousands of years had lived migratory lives following the great herds of buffalo. To these people, the buffalo was the ultimate companion, providing food, clothing, shelter, and nearly every other material need.
