Native American and the Buffalo


Today we are learning about the many conflicts between American settlers and Plains Indians in the late 1800's. Where Plains Indians do not believe in owning the land, white settlers came to farm and put up fences. Where Plains Indians saw the buffalo as sacred and religious, white hunters saw it as a money making opportunity. These two culture were going to clash and the confrontations became known as the Indians Wars of the late 1800's.
