BUFFALO[]
The American bison also commonly known as the buffalo, roamed the grasslands of North America in massive herds. It became nearly extinct by a combination of commercial hunting, slaughter and introduction of bovine diseases from domestic cattle during the days of the American Frontier. The buffalo was a huge part of Native American life. Native American’s hunted the buffalo which was no small feat. However, they were responsible in the use of the carcass. In fact, they were very resourceful and used every part of the animal. Nothing was left to waste. The rare white buffalos were considered sacred animals of the god Manitou by many tribes.
