What do buffalo's tell you about family life for native Americans?
Buffalo's can't talk. Seriously, native Americans hunted buffalo and used every part of the animal. The skins were used to build tee-pees. The horns and bones were also used to make instruments. Even dried buffalo dung was used to keep babies' bottoms dry and as a substitute for firewood.
What is the density of buffalo dung?
When it is first pooped, if the buffalo leaves it alone, then it will spread out in the air all around the world. The moisture in the buffalo dung then gets absorbed by the clouds. The next thing you know, it returns to the earth as rain. That's why rain from clouds tastes so good, because it is seasoned with little pieces of their dung.
