because they only use the buffalo for the skin for clothing and the tipi
One tradition for Native Americans are to use every single part of the buffalo.
almost all of them
Buffalo's can't talk. Seriously, native Americans hunted buffalo and used every part of the animal. The skins were used to build tee-pees. The horns and bones were also used to make instruments. Even dried buffalo dung was used to keep babies' bottoms dry and as a substitute for firewood.
All of them.
The Indians had a method of tanning leather that was referred to as "Brain-tanned". I don't know how this worked or if they really used brains. And I don't know if they used brains of buffalo or deer or something else. But that is what it was called. And from what I hear, their tanning resulted in a nice soft leather that was a shade of White.
All of it. To not use it was considered a waste and a sin against mother nature. The Sioux also used the buffalo as a symbol of life. It was an important animal to the Native Americans. That is one reason why the white settlers would try to kill as many as they could. Piles of dead buffalo the size of mountains were created. When the steam train crossed the prairie states they would stop and people would shoot herds of buffalo. Some reports tell of the guns getting hot they were used so much so they would trade to another gun. The population of buffalo went from millions to a few thousand.

The horse that was brought to North America by the Spanish. They still hunted the buffalo before the horse, but it gave them mobility and the ability to move further faster. Other than that there was no "who" enabling the hunting of buffalo. It was part of their way of life.
The Native Americans never used the heart of the Buffalo because they believed that everything had a spirit so instead they bury the heart of the Buffalo where the animal died or where it was killed and then the spirit would bring more Buffalos.
The destruction of the buffalo was so detrimental to the Native American way of life due to the number of purposes buffalo served. Native Americans used buffalo for everything from food to shelter.
Buffalo was originally the most common resource of the Plains Indians who used virtually every part of the animal. Bison hides are both durable and light weight for their size making them the best choice for a tepee.
