Buffaloes were important to Native Americans because, for many tribes, it was their primary food source. Also the buffalo was used in rituals and religion as well as to perform rituals and grand send offs, returns, or celebrations. Further more, the buffalo skin was used to create blankets, clothing, and even housing.
