On a literal level, I'm fairly sure this poem talks about how the settlers attempted to settle on the land and developed it to the point where it changed and drove away the natural flora and fauna. The Pawnees and Blackfoot are two Native American tribes, both of which may have been dependent on the buffalo. Based on this, you can probably pick out the metaphorical meaning.

∙ 13y agoThe poem is about the Christian expansion of the United States and its negative effects. Their "manifest destiny" was to make use of the land, which they did not believe the Native Americans or the other settlers (French, Spanish etc.) were doing.
The poem includes the Native American tribes among the nature that is destroyed (such as the buffaloes) by the expansion, because that was how Native Americans were viewed at the time. They were seen as "noble savages" who were part of the wildlife, and were about to die out anyway, so the belief was that they could be killed or oppressed without guilt.

∙ 11y agoThis poem describes about the buffaloes in america who where hunted by the red indians for food and they worshipped them as the gift from god . Everything changed when the grasslands were converted to wheat feilds , and roads and railroads were laid for transport. This ppem talks about the buffaloes who became extinct as the technologies improved.
