So we killed the buffalo; darn near all of them. By doing so, we eliminated their primary source of food and material. The Plains Indians were left with a choice between starvation and surrender.
That is the way you beat an insurgency - you kill the buffalo.
Not to split hairs, but we were the insurgents - we were moving into their territory. I'd like to think you and I would fight just as hard to defend our lands, homes, and families from outside forces, especially if the outcome was a crappy reservation somewhere.

We’re not fighting to defend our lands at all. We don’t even know who is on them, and the administration is killing OUR buffalo. Dark times ahead.
