    Settlers killed buffalo to force indigenous people into the reservation system. It was a big part of the genocide here, worth looking into if you get the chance.

      This is a buffalo:

      They are not the same animal as American bison, which are also not European bison for that matter.

          Isn’t that a water buffalo?

          or as you woul call it a water bison…

          Also the city was not on land, which had American bison, so no it is not named after the animal.
