By the mid-1700s, many Plains nations survived on North America’s largest land mammals: bison. They ate its meat, made the hides into winter coats and blankets, and used the bones and horns for tools. But in the following decades, millions of bison would be deliberately slaughtered, threatening the survival of Plains societies. Andrew C. Isenberg shares what led to the animal's near-extinction.

What's ironic is that the U.S. government began styling itself as savior of the bison around the time they were approaching extinction (with natives confined to reservations, the tourist appeal of the bison outweighed subjugation concerns). Classic U.S. politics.

The one dude who was so passionate about his distain for the natives and bison that he killed 5000 bison in two months and went deaf, eventually developing severe medical issues are the kinds of people who just don’t let anyone have nice things.

This was genuinely hard hitting. Humans never fails to surprise/disaapoint me...😢

There's also a Bison reservation in Mexico (the country's only one) in Janos, a town on the northern state of Chihuahua. It started 14yrs ago with 23, so far they got to over 300

Just outrageous what humanity can do to benefit themselves.

TED-Ed never disappoints with its animations. Topnotch!❤

Sometimes I am glad Bisons are still alive, but what the US did was unforgivable, trying to get rid of a species that survived the last Ice Age, only for it be at the edge of extinction. I remembered reading the same thing about Wisents in the Caucasus, that unfortunately went extinct, while the European Bison only managed to survive in Poland. But the biggest tragedy in wild cattle are the Aurochs, the Aurochs faced a devastated loss up until the second half of the 17th to the first half of the 18th century when the last wild Auroch became extinct, whereas the African Aurochs became extinct during the Roman Empire. Sometimes I just wish I could see those last remaining ice age megafauna in our modern world.

It is shocking the amount of atrocities committed against the indigenous communities in all countries of the Americas. Here in Brazil it is no different, the suffering continues and the indigenous people are continuously abused. Hopefully the bison population will grow again and recreate its bonds with the Native Americans.

I can never unlearn the horrifying truths from the Museum of the American Indian in Washington D.C. That day they had a comprehensive exhibit about the treaties that Indian nations made with European settlers from the colonial period well into the 19th century. The story begins OK, but over time as America becomes more powerful the treaties become more transactional and their violation more common. Our country is "built" on values of freedom, liberty justice and whatnot, which sounds genuinely absurd, as the entire country was stolen from a people who were slaughtered and displaced, to make way for a people who were also displaced to work as slaves for the powerful white minority. This country was built on a stagnant pool of blood. The founders extolled enlightenment values at the same time that they were oppressing every non-white non-male group.

the history of the us should be labelled as a horror book

Very informative and interesting to know. There are now around 500,000 bison in the USA, but most live on reserves or ranches. Until recently, our crew got on camera the conservation efforts that made it possible to release the first bison group into the wilderness of Badlands National Park.

I am speechless how low greedy people can get. So frustrating. Hope the Bisons recover someday!

One of your best topics yet and the animation is even greater. What a good job you did on this video

The photo of the guy with all those skulls terrified me. Left me with distraught. 😢

Its sad that this story never ended, it just plays out on repeat, changes but a few names.

I’m glad Ted-ed is talking about public speaking. As a student, when I was younger I just felt like my voice was never heard sometimes. You really feel empowered when you can speak about things publicly and bring change. ❤

I’ve first heard about this bison problem when i was playing RDR a few years ago. Feels good to get the full context now.

It's horrible that we killed so many innocent bison to do an even more horrible act

Thank you so much for talking about this topic!

The extreme anti-native sentiment of early Americans never fails to shock me with how much they wanted to completely eliminate a rich culture and lifestyle that predated their own
