  11. American Bison The Native Americans used every part of the bison for food, shelter, clothing and weapons. They even used the dung as fuel. In an effort to destroy the Native American culture, Europeans shot and killed nearly 50,000,000 buffalo. Before the Europeans arrived in America, 60,000,000 buffalo roamed the plains. After the Europeans came, only 5,000 remained.
