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? Not the same animal as the American Bison (commonly known as the American Buffalo.) I think once they have a 200 year old city named for them, you just have to accept that that's what they're called.
