This is Amerikkka

The US Army sanctioned and actively endorsed the wholesale slaughter of bison herds.[88] The federal government promoted bison hunting for various reasons, to allow ranchers to range their cattle without competition from other bovines, and primarily to weaken the North American Indian population by removing their main food source and to pressure them onto the Indian reservations during times of conflict.[89][90] Without the bison, native people of the plains were often forced to leave the land or starve to death. One of the biggest advocates of this strategy was General William Tecumseh Sherman.

Boo hoo hoo. All of human history is an endless storm of people stealing each other's shit.
What do we have to apologize for? Being better at war and civilization?

>civilization
That means cities being built for people not cars, you're something else

Bison populations are healthy right now though

An American flag flutters over the camp of 500 sleeping Cheyenne and a few Arapahoes. The U.S. Army had promised them sanctuary on their reservation, along the creek's sandy banks 200 miles southeast of Denver. So no guards are posted, and many of the young men are away hunting buffalo.

It's daybreak on Nov. 29, 1864. Nine hundred soldiers, mostly volunteers, move four howitzers into place on a hill overlooking the camp.

"I have come to kill Indians and believe it is right and honorable to use any means under God's heaven to kill Indians," their leader, Col. John M. Chivington, had said.

Chief Black Kettle rises before dawn, hears the soldiers and carries an American flag to welcome the troops.

And the sky spits bullets.

The troops storm the encampment. Chief White Antelope extends his hands in peace. Rifles reply. Wounded, White Antelope begins to sing.

"Nothing lives long, only the earth and the mountains."

He is among the first of 163 to die.

Outnumbered, outgunned and surrounded, the Cheyenne and Arapahoes dig into the creek's sandy cliffs. Some wade into the icy water and hide under the bank.

For eight hours, the killing goes on. Howitzers lob shells into tepees. The big guns are turned on the sandy cliffs.

Capt. Silas Soule refuses to let his men join the attack. "It looked too hard for me to see little children on their knees begging for their lives, (having) their brains beat out like dogs," he would say.

Chivington and the Colorado 3rd return to Denver on Dec. 22. The city declares a holiday. Hundreds line the streets as the volunteers parade through town, men's and women's genitals on their hats as trophies. At the Denver Opera House, the scalps of 100 men, women, and children are strung across the stage. The crowd rises in a standing ovation.

the good thing is that all those things have already happened, you have to forget and know how to forgive, and I'm serious

Good policies have helped them rebound and stave off extinction but they are not really healthy and neither is the overall ecology of America and Canada.

Thousands were killed sometimes for nothing more than their tongues. The Métis in Canada killed them on an industrial scale too, mostly to feed the fur trade. It was a nightmare
