<P>WHOA! Aren't we a little touchy Debbie?</P>
<P>The fact is White people did wipe out the Buffalo. Not the Natives. Indians lived on this continent for 12,000 years and had plenty of Buffalo. It was not until White men came to the continent that Buffalo, like most the wild life that dies here, were wiped out.</P></DIV>
<P>Indians did not senselessly wipe out Buffalo without purpose.&nbsp;Yes, sometimes they killed a few to many, but not pointlessly and they took everything they could.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>I don't need you faxes and documents. I have the word of my Native Americans Studies teacher (who herself was a Native American from the Northwest), and that of Raymond Baby, Asen Baliki, Melven Flower, Robert Heinzer, Bill Holm, Charles Hudson, Elden Johnson, Larua Klein, Alfonso Ortiz, Edwards Rogers, Elisabeth&nbsp;Tooker, Deward Walker, and Joe Wheat. All PhD's from varies Universities and Colleges around the&nbsp;country in Native American Studies and many Indians themselves.</P>
<DIV></DIV>
<P>Guns, increased population, and trains are what wiped out the Buffalo, not Indians. Sorry you don't accept that fact.</P>

<DIV></DIV>&gt;You might want to research your frontier MYTHOLOGY a little before you 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;pass along tired historical distortions. The buffalo were not driven to 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;extincton solely by white man shooting recklessly at them from trains. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Buffalo jump sites are common throughout the plains and mountain states. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Archaeological evidence strongly supports the idea that not all buffalo 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;were skinned and eaten or utilized. Other 'technological' innovations that 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;changed the buffalo population were the introduction of horses, firearms, 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;increases in fur trade, the use of fires for landscape/animal manipulation 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;(yes, there were range and forest fires before white man!), increasing 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;army and pioneers and drought during the mid-1800's that decimated the 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;habitat. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;Please don't question my tribal service records or demand to see my own 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;buffalo robe (handed down from my great grandma!) or faxed copies of 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;archaeological investigations. Instead, you can do a little digging 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt;yourself and see what you find.

<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; It might shock you to hear this, but most, if not all of the buffalo were eaten and/or 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; used. Buffalo were used for everything, not just food. Even the blatter was used. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; It was in fact white immigrants that came to the United States that wiped out the buffalo 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; for no reason other than to keep them off the railroad tracks. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; Indians would not wipe out their only source of food, clothes, tools, and everything 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; else. 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; White immigrants use to shoot buffalo out the windows of trains for the fun and leave the 
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>&gt; &gt; carcass there to rot.
