The sharp decline in the bison population.

--

There were numerous reasons, but the one that had most input was the US Government, they exterminated the buffalo, massacred Indian villages, separated all Indian tribes, and took away their weapons. The Indians became massively dependent on the food handouts from the US gov, the gov undermined the Indian social structure and hierarchy when they made some loyal (toward the USA) Indians into US style police officers. The government made the younger Indian generation attend christian schools, and they never learnt the Indian way of life. The US assimilated the Indians by making them FARM like the whites, given one plot for each Indian Family.
