Which best explains why there were tensions between the plains Indians and the buffalo hunters?
The tensions between the plains Indians and the buffalo hunters were primarily due to the unsustainable and indiscriminate hunting practices of the buffalo hunters, which threatened the survival of the buffalo herds that the Plains Indians depended on for their own survival. The buffalo hunters were often driven by profit motives and killed buffalo in large numbers, leading to a sharp decline in the buffalo population and making it harder for the Plains Indians to sustain themselves. Additionally, the buffalo hunters often trespassed on traditional Native American lands and ignored treaties that had been established to protect the rights of the Plains Indians. This exploitation of the natural resource and disregard for Native American rights led to significant tensions between the two groups.
