So, my Nation’s people actually shrunk in height in one generation because of the loss of the buffalo. Many ate rotting food or even bits of clothing just to stave off hunger pains because of the colonial bullshit. Buffalo were everything— food, clothing, shelter, tools, parts of ceremonies. And that’s just *one* Nation out of many, many more. After 150 years, we finally have a herd home again. I never experienced the hardship and I’m reconnecting on my own, but the US is unforgivable.
