The Plains Indians suffered from lost battles and broken treaties. Even worse for them, however, was the destruction of the buffalo.
The end of the buffalo lived in areas west of the Mississippi and east of the Rockies. Nevertheless, with diseases, drought, and destruction, of the areas in which also they lived, the herds were slowly decreasing.
As the market requests for buffalo robes increased during the 1830's and 1840's, professional buffalo hunters killed more buffalo. In addition, buffalo hunting became a pleasure sport where railroads cut through the areas in which buffalo were living at.
Indian people themselves learned to hunt more without any difficulties. Some Indian tribes, such as the Pawnees, continued to hunt buffalo even though they knew the number of buffalo was decreasing.
The buffalo hunt was a part of their culture that they did not want to give up. As the buffalo disappeared, so did the Plains Indians' way of life.

What does it mean to Americanize a Native American?
Americanizing a Native American is by definintion a contradictory statement. Being the original inhabitants of the North American Continent i.e the original Americans, they cannot become Americanized through some process. What that statement may really be saying is "what does it mean to Europeanize a Native American". This refers to a process of loss of the Native American's "American" culture and identity through indocrination, re-education, and an environment of European cultures and values. The Native American loses their American identity, and adopts the identiy and culture of the Western Europeans. American today really means the descendents of Western Europeans, not Native Americans.
