The destruction of the bison profoundly impacted Native American societies, leading to significant cultural, economic, and nutritional changes. Bison were a primary source of food, clothing, and materials for tools, and their decline severely disrupted traditional lifestyles and livelihoods. This loss contributed to increased dependence on government aid and a decline in population health, as many Native Americans faced food insecurity and malnutrition. Additionally, the bison's extermination symbolized broader colonial policies that sought to displace and control Indigenous peoples.
