        Yeah the context is that many indigenous people depended on the buffalo for food.

        It was basically the same as when Israel pours concrete down wells and burns olive groves that took centuries to get that productive. They knew for every buffalo they killed, an indian would starve.

        That image is similar to the rooms full of luggage in Auschwitz in what it represents.
