Dismantling the Dutton buildings
With all the hate they had I thought they'd just burn them
Good to see the one dude defending the grave sites
Yeah, when I saw the desecration of the graves, I was like “seriously?”
I figured they would at least respect the Dutton family plot.
But then, indeed, Mo showed up and set things right.

I think the hate was greatly tempered by the Duttons essentially giving them the land back after 200 years. Even though the Duttons were backed into a financial corner after John's death, they *could* have sold the ranch or even half of it and been rich forever. They decided to keep Yellowstone together even if they couldn't benefit from it.
If the NAs had gotten the land back from a fight with the Duttons, then they might have torched the whole kit and kaboodle - depending on Rainwater's mood after the victory. Since there was no fight, there was civility.
The snot-nosed little shits desecrating the cemetery however didn't understand until Mo explained it to them.
Apparently they wanted to salvage the lumber and other building materials for their own reuse.
shareIt was kind of unnecessary to dismantle that big, nice building. It could've been used as a museum, a club house or something.

I believe their plan was to return the land to it's original state - sans any kind of permanent structures or "improvements". Of course, they could have put a casino there... LOL.
When Kayce came up with the idea to sell the ranch to the tribe for next to nothing (relatively speaking) I thought they might run a tax-exempt cattle ranch. Employee tribe members, raise funds for other purposes, etc. But yep, I guess returning it to nature was the “completing the circle” approach.
