How could Winfield Scott comment on the buffalo in 1867 when he died in 1866? Please correct!
Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Bison skull pile edit.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on February 25, 2013. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2013-02-25. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. Thanks! — Crisco 1492 ( talk) 23:33, 12 February 2013 (UTC)
The way the text is worded in the picture of the day implies that Bison extinction came about due to the activities of Plains Indians, but I believe a much stronger case could be made that it was European settlers that created the overall problem in population. The picture of the day text should be reworded somewhat to reflect this. -- Avanu ( talk) 02:42, 25 February 2013 (UTC)
This page only describe American bison hunting, European bisons are also bisons, hunting of them should also be described. 202.123.130.53 ( talk) 02:47, 31 August 2014 (UTC)
Anthropologists have written on the impact... but the heavy-handed speculative essay that one had editor added is heavily polemical. It relies for example on Winona LaDuke --She is a novelist and was Ralph Nader's running mate in the Green Party Presidential ticket. Rjensen ( talk) 06:02, 30 March 2015 (UTC)
Hello! I'm one of your peer reviewers, it would be interesting to hear a little bit more about the transition of indigenous peoples onto reservations and whether or not it was directly recorded that they were purposefully moved onto reservations away from buffalo population or if it just ended up that way? Also I would be interested to know the timing - what was the buffalo population like when they were moved onto the reservations? Also has the indigenous populations today played any role in the modern day buffalo resurgence? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexa cotton ( talk • contribs) 17:48, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
Could you possibly speak to the spiritual impact of the resurgence of bison? I think it would be particularly interesting to see how natives today view the bison and compare both its past and present uses. Just like Alexa mentioned about hearing more of the transition onto reservations, what about the transition into our 21st century society? Evan.j.miranda ( talk) 04:41, 10 April 2015 (UTC)
Are there Bison hunting in Canada for fifht with first nation?-- Kaiyr ( talk) 14:24, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
I'm concerned about what i sense as a contentious point of view in the section "19th century bison hunts and near extinction". I need to take more time and get into the range of sources on this, but what i read now strikes me as a rather Eurocentric apologism, and passing the blame on to native people. I think the story is probably very complex, but that the way it's portrayed is probably biased. Like i said, i need to find a wide range of sources and see the range of explanations. We need to truly abide by WP:NPOV. So i open this discussion to get input of other editors, and to open the topic. SageRad ( talk) 11:33, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
Toward this end, i have found this source, an essay called "In the Prime of the Buffalo" in Overland monthly and Out West magazine (Volume 14, Issue 83, Nov 1889; pp. 515-520) which says:
Thirty years ago millions of the great unwieldy animals existed on this continent. Innumerable droves roamed, comparatively undisturbed and unmolested, . . . Many thousands have been ruthlessly and shamefully slain every season for past twenty years or more by white hunters and tourists merely for their robes, and in sheer wanton sport, and their huge carcasses left to fester and rot, and their bleached skeletons to strew the deserts and lonely plains.
I see that this source is not yet in the article, and it seems useful. I will add this to the section on this topic. SageRad ( talk) 15:57, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello Roman953: Thanks for adding the citation. The format can be a bit complicated so I think I followed your intention in changing the format. If you think the citation is sufficient for the content it follows, the "Citation needed" template can be deleted. Cheers, Fettlemap ( talk) 00:09, 9 March 2022 (UTC)
