Why is the communalism between the buffalo and the First Nations
the cowbird kills the buffalo and eats the insides
Ticks are a parasite which means they feed off of the buffalo, but the oxpicker has a symbolic relationship with the buffalo. It eats the ticks on the buffalo helping it and doesn't feed off the animal.
The prey is the food, or in human's case the hunted, and the predator is the hunter(human or animal).
The corresponding similarities for yak/water buffalo are from 84.9 to 98.6%. In the related links box below, I posted the whole analisis.
The first nations would only eat what they hunted or fished. Some things that they would hunt for would be: buffalo, caribou, and whale. But the type of fish they would fish for would be: herring, cod, halibut, salmon, and smelt.They might have ate more but this is all i could find.

I don't think they are related but they looked good together on the 1st jersey for the Buffalo Sabres.
The relationship between buffalo and cowbirds is a form of commensalism. Cowbirds often follow herds of buffalo, benefiting from the insects and parasites that are disturbed and exposed as the buffalo graze. While the cowbirds gain a food source without harming the buffalo, the buffalo do not receive any significant benefits or detriments from the presence of cowbirds. This interaction illustrates the interconnectedness of species in ecosystems.
The relationship between cattle egrets and cape buffalo would not be commensalism if the egrets removed ticks from the buffalo, because both species would benefit. The buffalo would be tick free and the egrets would have food to eat.

The Buffalo Soldiers were led by Theodore Roosevelt, one of the nations 45 presidents.
So the Indians had food.
The first nations would hunt for: buffalo, caribou, and whales and much much more.
buffalo is farther
The hides would be used as clothes and meat for food and they would use every single part of the buffalo even the manure as fuel. The buffalo were used for many things by the first nations
