What did the native Americans use the shoulder blade of the buffalo for?

Many Native american tribes had no access to buffalo and could not use the horns. Among the Plains tribes and those bordering the plains, horns were made into large spoons that also served as eating bowls; any tribes made powder horns for the early muzzle-loading guns by sealing the end of the buffalo horn with a wood plug; tools such as quill flatteners were made from pieces of horn; a sealed horn could be used to carry smouldering fuel from one campfire to the next; some headdresses were made with buffalo horns attached each side (or sometimes just one at the front); horns were also used for signalling, like a trumpet.

What were native American hoe tool made from.?

Gardening hoes were used by the women of many agricultural tribes throughout North America and their construction depended on locally available materials.In the New England area, hoes were often made from sea clam shells - these were large enough to make a reasonable hoe blade. Stone hoe blades were also made, either a triangular type or one with a long stem. In the Natick language of the Massachusetts area these tools were called anaskhomwautowin, from the verb meaning to break up (the soil).On the upper Missouri River the so-called "village tribes", Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara, used hoes made using the shoulder blade of a buffalo; other tribes used shoulder blades from other large animals such as elk or moose.See links below for images:


What were some of the technology used by pioneers on the Great Plains?

The true Plains tribes were nomadic buffalo hunters and did no farming of any kind. In some, like the Blackfoot, women used digging sticks to collect edible roots (wild potato, wild carrot, wild turnip); these were simply stout poles sharpened at one end and hardened in the fire.Only tribes bordering the Plains lived sedentary lives and grew crops - tribes like the Mandan and Arikara. They used hoes (mattocks) made with the shoulder blade of a buffalo or elk attached to a long wooden handle.
