Where were the native Americans when the westward expansion happened?
I hope this kinda helps... Well, most Native Americans (including the Plains Indians) were forced onto reservations as a result of western exploration. This began during the Jacksonian era (Cherokee tribe, Georgia, Trail of Tears) and continued throughout the 1800s. While some tribes did what they were told and moved onto small reservations and became farmers, some of the Plains Indians fought back. A big think for the Americans was to "civilize" these Native Americans - the Americans thought that they needed to teach the Native Americans to farm, and settle and live the "proper lifestyle." Obviously, the Plains Indians just wanted to live their lives according to their traditions and customs. Two major things that really hurt the Plains Indians was the Wounded Knee Massacre (and all the other battles in which the Americans were able to dominate using guns vs. primitive weapons) and the Buffalo Bonanza that began with Western Expansion. While the Native Americans killed buffalo based on need and used every part of the buffalo for different purposes, the Americans got into buffalo hide (making clothes/etc out of it) and would kill them for sport. Buffalo Bill is a famous hunter who killed tons of buffalo in such a short amount of time that he depleted the buffalo population significantly and the Plains Indians were one of the groups that suffered. So basically, the Plains Indians were more stubborn in giving up their lifestyle and unfortunately paid the price with their lives.

What revered animal was essential for survival for many Native American tribes on the plains?
The American bison (often referred to as the buffalo) was central to the Plains Indians' way of life but was hunted almost to extinction by whites. It was not white settlers who destroyed the buffalo herds, though, but the railroads, the demand for buffalo hides by Easterners, and the U.S. Army. In the two decades after the U.S. Civil War, several railroads were built through what had been buffalo grazing grounds. Hunters like Buffalo Bill Cody were hired to kill buffalo because the buffalo obstructed the laying of track and also because the buffalo provided meat for the railroad workers. Cody is said to have killed over four thousand buffalo in just 18 months working for one of the railroads. There was a great demand for buffalo robes (tanned hides with the fur left on) because of their exceptional warmth, and especially when they became a desirable fashion accessory, white hunters would shoot as many bison as they could (dozens in a single day), strip them of their hides and leave the meat to rot on the prairies. The U.S. Army joined in the slaughter of the buffalo to open land for settlers and the railroads and, some say, to help destroy the Plains Indians by depriving them of their primary source of food and many other necessities.
Soiux Indian arts and crafts?
The Sioux Indians used two methods of transportation. They walked and rode horses. Before the horses came to the plains the Sioux Indians walked everywhere and carried all of their things themselves. When the horses were brought to the Plains, it made life much easier. The horses carried them as well as all of their things. Horses also made hunting buffalo easier, safer, and more productive - they could kill more at a time. If a family owned many ponies, they were thought of as very rich. these were the two ways
