The US army used many tactics in order to get Native
Americans off of their land. Among
these, the eradication of the American buffalo stands out in the 1870s. The army encouraged the hunting of these
animals to the point of almost extinction.
These hunts were used to force the Native Americans off their
traditional hunting grounds onto reservations further west.
This is one among many problems involving environmental
racism and Native Americans that I will continue to write about throughout this
quarter.
