In slaughtering the bison, the colonizers sought to starve the tribes that depended on them.
Turns out they were starving their own descendants, too, by helping cause the Dust Bowl.
People still think that was a "natural" disaster. As if it's sheer coincidence it happened after we wiped out two of the most important keystone species on the continent AND ended the indigenous land management practices that had been maintained for centuries.
The Dust Bowl was a human-exacerbated climate change disaster.
