What are two reason that the us government encouraged the destruction of bisons?

The government wanted to weaken Native Americans so white settlers could migrate easier. Native Americans needed bison for their hides and sustenance. They also believed bison were sacred animals. Reducing bison weakened Native Americans in numerous ways. They were then forced to move from their locations to reservations so they could survive. The destruction of the bison was also the government's way to control the Native Americans.

Hope this helps! :)
