My best friend is an Indian. Not sure why you brought that up? If i'm biased at all it's against certain white men.
THAT'S WHY I BROUGHT IT UP. WHENEVER THESE discusions start someone inevitably gets upset and starts throwing around the race card, even though it really has nothing to do with what is being discused. just figured to head it off at the pass, so to speak.
btw My friend lives in a teepee when the weather isn't too harsh. True.

I have a friend who is a taxidermist, doesn't mean I know everything about how a taxidermist lives or how he disposes of carcasses.

Bison would have been gone if some people didn't step in. There were 20-30 million at one time. In 1890 there was about 1000. Now we have about 1/2 million and most of those aren't pure bison.
Very few on free range.

I see references to disease transmission from bison to cattle so often in articles that it sounds like a party line that's repeated from rote memory without thought.
Sure bison are a reservoir for Brucellosis, but why single them out? Are elk or deer that stray outside the Yellowstone subject to similar culls? Their populations carry the disease too.

That's my point. Someone took action to save the bison. Nobody took action to help the Passenger Pigeon. They are all gone and that is a travesty as far as I am concerned.

The Indians lived here basically the same way for thousands of years. The major change in their way of life started with the coming of the white men from Europe. They didn't even have horses until white men came here.
