Indigenous peoples often had a spiritual and reciprocal relationship with buffalo, viewing them as vital to their culture, sustenance, and way of life. They utilized almost every part of the buffalo, from food to clothing to tools, reflecting a deep respect for the animal. In contrast, white Americans tended to see buffalo primarily as a resource to be exploited for profit, leading to mass slaughter that decimated herds and disrupted the ecosystems and cultures dependent on them. This fundamental difference in perspective contributed to significant cultural and environmental ramifications.
