Want this question answered?
Native Americans were hurt because they ate bison as a part of their diet so they lost some food.
In 1500 between 60 million and 125 million American bison roamed the plains. These bison were used by Native Americans as a primary food source but this did not have much effect on the bison population ?
i believe it was the sharp decline in the bison(buffalo) population.
For sewing articles of clothing together, the native Americans who lived on the plains where there were many bison used bison tendons as threading for sewing.
the shapr decline in the bison population.
The bison was food and everything thing else they needed to live. Winfied Scott decided to do total war on the plains tribes by killing the buffalo. When the Europeans came there were 30 million buffalo on the plains and by 1850 there were only 17,000.

The Native Americans or Amerindians [rather than "Indians"] of old famously hunted the huge AMERICAN BISON or AMERICAN PLAINS BISON (with the easy scientific name of Bison bison). The Native Americans hunted only as many bison as they actually needed for meat and for fur. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, American bison were hunted almost to extinction, not by the Amerindians, but by European settlers in North America. Fortunately, through conservation measures, the populations of the American bison have rebounded and it is not an endangered species any more.In similar measure, the original human inhabitants of North America, the Native American tribes, were decimated close to extinction by the European settlers, and their populations never recovered.
The consequences of the destruction of the bison were that Native Americans struggled to survive without their means of clothing, weapons, foots, etc. and were forced onto reservations where they suffered from starvation from the lack of bison.
