What revered animal was essential for survival for many Native American tribes on the plains?
The American bison (often referred to as the buffalo) was central to the Plains Indians' way of life but was hunted almost to extinction by whites. It was not white settlers who destroyed the buffalo herds, though, but the railroads, the demand for buffalo hides by Easterners, and the U.S. Army. In the two decades after the U.S. Civil War, several railroads were built through what had been buffalo grazing grounds. Hunters like Buffalo Bill Cody were hired to kill buffalo because the buffalo obstructed the laying of track and also because the buffalo provided meat for the railroad workers. Cody is said to have killed over four thousand buffalo in just 18 months working for one of the railroads. There was a great demand for buffalo robes (tanned hides with the fur left on) because of their exceptional warmth, and especially when they became a desirable fashion accessory, white hunters would shoot as many bison as they could (dozens in a single day), strip them of their hides and leave the meat to rot on the prairies. The U.S. Army joined in the slaughter of the buffalo to open land for settlers and the railroads and, some say, to help destroy the Plains Indians by depriving them of their primary source of food and many other necessities.
After the Civil War what did the US military build on the frontie?
After 1865, the end of the US Civil War, the US population expanded westward: the railroads were built, army outposts (forts) were built, dirt roads were built (for stage coaches/military paymasters, etc.). The US Army supplied 45-70 caliber ammunition free to buffalo (Bison) hunters to kill off the buffalo (to starve out the plains Indians); thus allowing the railroads to be constructed without interference from hostiles.
Why did Sheridan have hunters kill large number of buffalo during frontier wars?
General Philip Sheridan encouraged hunters to kill large numbers of buffalo during the frontier wars to undermine the Native American tribes that relied on buffalo for sustenance and livelihood. By depleting the buffalo population, he aimed to weaken their resistance and force them onto reservations, thereby facilitating westward expansion. This strategy was part of a broader military campaign to assert control over the Great Plains and to support the settlement of American territories. The mass slaughter of buffalo had devastating effects on Indigenous cultures and ecosystems.

What tools did the Blackfoot people used to hunt buffalo?
Originally the Blackfoot tribes often used the "buffalo jump" technique, scaring and stampeding a herd over a cliff to kill large numbers of animals. Fires, piles of stones and brushwood were used to channel the herd in the right direction, while men waving buffalo hides would scare them into a stampede. After more horses became available hunters used bows and spears to kill the buffalo from very close range.
