Tribes were removed from their lands and forced onto reservations that didn't resemble their lands. The buffalo was driven to near extinction to deny the tribes that relied on it their main food source. Until 1967 the US had a policy of eradicating indigenous languages and cultures. A lot was done to erase their culture. It was a systemic approach, not random or accidental.
