What skills did the plain Indians have?

Buffalo was the main source of the Plain Indian's food as it provides them with flesh and clothing! Because buffalos never stay still (they migrate), the Plain Indians always have to be on the move to stalk and hunt down their prey. The Plain Indians were nomads - they do not have a fixed house address like you do. They have to follow wherever the buffalos went - so they needed a type of shelter that can be built fast and can be easily taken down if needed. A shelter that will stay warm during the winter and cool in the summer. Overall, a convenient and comfortable shelter. I'm sure you all have one!
