Yes, buffalo hides are still used today, particularly in the production of leather goods such as clothing, bags, and accessories. They are valued for their durability and unique texture. Additionally, some artisans and craftspeople continue to utilize buffalo hides for traditional practices and cultural crafts, preserving the heritage of their use. However, their use is less common than in historical times when buffalo were more abundant.

What did the Indians use buffalo hides for?

The skins of adult buffalo (bison) are too thick for simple clothing such as shirts and leggings, but a hide with the fur left on made a very good warm robe for the cold months. The same robes also made bedding inside the lodge. Hides from buffalo cows were tanned, smoked and sewn together to make the covers for tipi-style lodges. The thickest part of a bull buffalo rawhide (the neck) was cut into a large circle and slowly heated to shrink and thicken it even more - this made very serviceable shields for warriors, especially when decorated with magical markings and items seen in a vision sent by a protective spirit. These are probably the main uses for buffalo hides.
