∙ 13y agoWestern expansion by European people was the general reason for the end of the traditional way of life of the First Nations.
Specifically, the indiscriminate slaughter of the buffalo, almost to the point of distinction, the spreading of European diseases (such a smallpox), against which the people of the First Nations had not acquired any immunity, and (in the USA) the wars fought by the US Army against them, were the major causes of the upheaval in the First Nations' way of life.
