The Arapaho are typical of the historic Plains nomads, following the herds of buffalo, deer, antelope and elk which they hunted continuously. The diet was over 90% meat, which was dried in the sun to preserve it for use over the winter months.
This diet was supplemented by wild roots, berries and nuts which were gathered by the women at the appropriate season. These included Perideridia gairdneri, the wild carrot (yeneinít in Arapaho); Indian breadroot or Pediomelum esculentum, (cee'éé' in Arapaho - the same word was also applied to wild potato); wild turnip (nonookúce'éé' in Arapaho); bear root/biscuit root or Lomatium dissectum(nii'éétee' in Arapaho); buffalo or bull berries (hóóxehíb in Arapaho); pine nuts (sée3íbino' in Arapaho) and many more.
