The U.S. government sanctioned the killing of buffalo herds primarily to undermine Native American tribes' way of life, as the buffalo were a crucial resource for their food, clothing, and shelter. By decimating the buffalo population, the government aimed to force Native Americans onto reservations and facilitate westward expansion and settlement by white settlers. This strategy was part of a broader policy to assimilate Indigenous peoples and diminish their resistance to U.S. territorial claims.
