Industrial scale hunting with the “convenient side effect” of destroying the primary food source for the native population - thus making it easier to expand and occupy the land.
You could probably reverse search it but it’s just two buffalo hunters standing on a pile of skulls. Impressive, yet standard wild west shit. That photo is in a lot of books and on a lot of websites.
Omg, any more info on this photo?

No convenience about it. General Sherman is “accredited” for hunting them with explicit intent of starving the Native Americans.
Yep it was genocide for manifest destiny

America killed all of the buffalo to starve the indigenous. It was part of the genocide and the manifest destiny colonial expansion project
