The Lakota people, aswell as other American Indian tribes, used the buffalo for alot of things. The hide was used as clothicng and to make tents or 'teepees', the fat was used as pitsh for torches or sometimes eaten. The meat and organs were eaten and often the blood was drunk as it was warm compared to the cold winter winds, and often the bones were used for construction. Hope this helps!
