Question

Did the American government help preserve buffalos in the 1800s for the Indians?

Answer 1

Absolutely not!  The buffalo (actually bison) was regarded by government officials (especially military officials) as the native Americans' commisary.  General Philip Sheridan, known for his comment "The only good Indian is a dead Indian" promoted the idea of killing off the herds so the native Americans would have to depend on the reservations for their survival.  See note 39 and its footnote in the source cited here below.
