How did the slaughter of the bison contribute to the plains Indians' removal to reservations during the 1800's?
The bison were a central part of the Indians' food, fuel, shelter, religion and ritual. The increase of railroad transportation and demand for hides in the east drove the bison out of their plains and depleted their herds. Thus causing the Indians to suffer. Without their main source of food and shelter, the Indians had to chose starvation and death or relocating to a reservation.
