The Plains tribes venerated the buffalo spirits and used the decorated skulls of animals killed as a kind of altar, particularly during the Sun Dance ritual. Buffalo skulls would be painted with symbolic designs and feathers, sweetgrass and arrows were thrust through the eye sockets.
Skulls also served as useful tools for de-hairing plaited rope by drawing it repeatedly through those eye sockets.
