Your comment misses the point so much it makes me sad! Seeing the pictures of thousands upon thousands of dead bison skulls is honestly astonishing and I think your snide comment "American bad, native good" is extremely reductive of the article, which even points out:

> Such reliance on a narrow ecological base ultimately proved unsustainable, pushing the bison populations into a steep decline by the mid–19th century.

Showing the native Americans role in the demise of the bison population.

> You have to wonder why history of a specific nature, about a specific people frequently surfaces ...

Probably because a lot of Americans use the site and learning about their history is interesting so it gets more points :)
