The Patagonia has a similar story, with the Mapuche tribe wiping out pretty much any other tribe, and then fighting off the European settlements in Buenos Aires. We too had a territorial expansion meant to put an end to it and annex the Patagonia, called Conquest of the dessert

There were a lot reasons the bison almost went extinct. The U.S. government encouraged the hunt to eliminate Natives' food supply, remove the vast herd from the plains to make way for trains, and there was a huge demand for hides not only in the eastern U.S. but also Europe.

All hunting gathering tribes have done this at various times in history regardless of skin colour. But in the PC West these days, pointing this out is virtually impossible.

Right... A single native American tribe wiped out almost the entirety of the Buffalo population. It has nothing to do with the bounties, or the massive fur and trapping trade

There were horses in North America before they were (probably) hunted to extinction. This left the native population with no domesticable animals and a significant disadvantage.https://www.livescience.com/717-humans-wiped-wild-horses.html …
