they would kill the buffalo and use its hide for things such as clothing, weapons and tipi's. they would use the meat for food and use the organs such as the heart for religious ceremonies. the buffalo was vital for the P.I's in order to survive and they believed that when the buffalo go extinct, the P.I's will slowly fade away too.
they believed that horses = wealth so the more horses you have, the wealthier you are. they also used the horses to hunt the buffalo by killing them up close with a bow and arrow or a lance, or by driving the buffalo of a cliff and collecting the them at the bottom. another technique would be to dress themselves in wolf skin in order to get close and pick off any stranglers. the buffalo always encountered wolves, so the buffalo were used to them. the P.I's took this to advantage and the technique was very effective.
the buffalo had a massive influence on the P.I's and the horses helped them kill them so they were important too.

∙ 15y agoThe Plains Indians first saw horses in the late 17th Century after the Spaniards brought them from Europe into south-western America. They got their first horses by stealing and trading among the Spanish settlements of the South-west. Within a century tribes such as the Commanches owned large herds of horses. Now they were able to cross vast areas of the Great Plains to hunt buffalo. As a result, many tribes abandoned their fixed adobes and became nomadic hunters. They would follow the wandering game herds, sleep in movable lodges and design a whole new way of life based on mobility.
By the 19th Century, a Plains Indian spent almost all of his life on horseback. By the time he had outlived his warrior years, he would, hopefully, be the proud owner of a large herd. When explorers first came upon them, they were so impressed by the Plains Indians' horsemanship that they called them the horse Indians.
