All of it. To not use it was considered a waste and a sin against mother nature. The Sioux also used the buffalo as a symbol of life. It was an important animal to the Native Americans.

Why were the horse and buffalo important for the plains Indians?
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.
What part of the bison did settlers consider valuable?
Settlers would rather kill a bison and leave it. Part of the thinking of the time was to kill all the bison that they could so the Native Americans couldn't get food. The railroads would stop and shoot whole herds of buffalo just to kill them. I remember seeing a photo of a mountain of dead buffalo in a book. One of the major differences between the Native American view of the world and the Europeans was that the animals were not to be wasted and killed just for the kill and the earth (the mother) was to be taken care of. This philosophy and belief still exists because the tribes have been fighting the oil pipeline across the reservations/ plains states.

A man can kill a buffalo with a bow and arrows as long as he is in a safe distance from the buffalo. With a sharp knife, the man has no chance to kill a buffalo since the buffalo is so strong with deep muscles and heavy weight to charge at enemies.
