Isn't it a little disingenious to only present these two things, and not the larger issue that matters more?

I, for one, disagree with the idea that the "buffalo jump" was all that prevalent and had a measurable impact, compared to the whites driving the buffalos to what they are now....

I lived next to one. Try again.

>I lived next to one. Try again.

So? That doesn't make it "prevalent", and even less makes it important next to white era's extinction of buffalo.

The only thing "I lived next to one" proves is that at least one existed. And we knew that already -- we also knew a lot more than one existed.
