What I learn was that the food that the Indians have left is buffalo but the white man came and kill all buffalos then left.Also,you should not go to others proberties.Stay on your own proberties.
I like your analysis. I think you have summed up the problem well.–Ms. Mercer

What I learned was that the food the Indians saved the Whites came and killed them all then left them there.
Your talking about how the buffalo was used by Indians and whites. How did the Indians use them? How did whites?–Ms. Mercer
