IOW, there was hunting to extinction going on in precolumbian times. U of Sask source story.

Archaeologists uncovered the 11,000-year-old site near Saskatchewan in western Canada, saying it confirms that highly organized societies existed in the region far earlier than previously believed.
Excavations uncovered stone tools, fire pits and toolmaking materials, suggesting the area was a long-term settlement rather than a temporary hunting camp.
Charcoal layers also indicate that early Indigenous inhabitants practiced controlled fire management, aligning with longstanding oral traditions.
The team also uncovered remains of the extinct Bison antiquus, a massive species that weighed up to 4,400lb and likely served as a key hunting target for the ancient civilization.
Dr Glenn Stuart of the University of Saskatchewan said the discovery challenges the 'outdated idea' that early Indigenous peoples were solely nomadic.
'The evidence of long-term settlement and land stewardship suggests a deep-rooted presence,' Stuart said.
'It also raises questions about the Bering Strait Theory, supporting oral histories that Indigenous communities have lived here for countless generations.'

Can’t imagine how many burgers could be made from a 4400lb bison.
How many steaks in a 4,400 lb Bison? Asking for a friend.
I do not see a “rewriting of history”.
Maybe a refining of pre-historical hunting techniques known today, but not by a great amount.
The average time people live in a house is/was 7 years. Does that make us nomadic??
Chuckling out loud! Or the amount of prime ribs.
DM is known for headlines for click-bait headlines. But I found this interesting anyway.
And we reward them for race extinction. It would be like giving the remaining Neanderthals all the casino action in Europe because cro-magnon wiped them out. Well, who was in Europe before Neanderthal? Homo heidelbergensis. Give them the casinos lofl.
Trump didn't need it, but JDV is going to have to thread the needle and apply punchdowns to wedge points like this, pointing out how marxists have fostered and profited from nonsensical reductive revisional phony 'historicism' and the rise of The Aggreviance Industry, which needs to not just be ended but with mass arrests and the renewal of the roman rite of exile.
Wish I had one. It has been a long time since I afforded a really good steak on the grill. I see them, think about it a second and then walk away.

And then glow bull warming. Or cooling..... Anyway it wasn’t SUVs.
It appears that perhaps the “Native Americans” stole this land from others. Hmmm.
I thought I’d read somewhere that the natives came from Russia.
I’d be happy to get the hide. I hear it gets chilly in Saskatchewan.
How many burgers? Lemme work that out for you. Bison being pretty hairy and ragged they probly wouldn’t dress out more than 50%. That gets you down to 2200 pounds of edible carcus. That’s going to be about 30% bone which the dogs will love but will bring you down to 1540 pounds of chewable meat. Assuming you trim it all into ground round you wind up with 3080 half pounders which should last you maybe 8 years. And you might as well make burger out of it since that’s all it’s really good for. Our local buffalo farmers don’t even try to get steak out of them——just doesn’t work out the same as beef.
It was my understanding that Buffalo jumps etc were not inhabited because slaughtering and processing animals attracted predators and scavengers. So the animals were killed and processed and the meat taken to the main dwelling area.
#1==27 years

Older than the pyramids. Yep, the Sphinx and the pyramids were “found” by the Egyptians. And they don’t want that to be proven because it lessens the Egyptians place in history.
Tell your friend who died back in the early 00s along with that line, it depends how big you want the steaks.
