There are teepees, buffalo, and horses in the Plains region.
buffalo was a very good resource for the Indians on the great plains, the buffalo supplied shelter, food, and clothing.
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.
The Plains depended on the buffalo.
