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 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.
killing people
The Buffalo Soldiers were led by Theodore Roosevelt, one of the nations 45 presidents.
So the Indians had food.
First Nations people hunted a variety of animals for food, clothing, and tools, including deer, bison, moose, elk, caribou, and smaller game like rabbits and birds. They utilized all parts of the animal to minimize waste and honor the animal's spirit. Hunting was a vital part of their traditional way of life and culture.
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
The relationship is that they are both members of the Cattle family
