The main animal used by the plains tribes was the buffalo. The buffalo was used by them for food, the skins for shelter and clothing, they had religious rites celebrating the buffalo. No part of the buffalo was wasted. Before the European settlement there were millions of buffalo in the plains. After the civil war an overt effort to kill off as many buffalo as possible was put into place because it was known to be used by the plains tribes. The railroads would stop and people would shoot buffalo until their guns grew hot. Mountains of buffalo were killed. Combined with the killing of the herds was a drought on the plains and the millions of buffalo were no longer there, but were down to a few thousand. This helped push the plains tribes onto reservations.

What did Sioux Indians make there clothes out of?
Before the arrival of white traders the many tribes of the Dakotas, Nakotas and Lakotas made most of their clothing from soft-tanned antelope, deer or elk skins (collectively known as "buckskin"). Moccasin soles had to be tough and hard-wearing, so these came from buffalo skins (often old tipi covers cut up for the purpose). But buffalo hide is generally too stiff and thick to make clothing, apart from warm winter "robes" - entire buffalo hides with the fur worn next to the body. When trade blankets became available these were used instead of buffalo robes; traders also brought ready-made clothing such as shirts, hats and dresses. Trade cloth was also used for men's breechclouts and leggings.
