None of the pure Plains tribes made any ceramic pottery of any kind - it was too heavy and too fragile to be constantly transported by horse from camp-site to camp-site. Some of the marginally Plains groups such as the Omaha made wooden bowls from burrs on trees, but there is no evidence for the Sioux tribes doing this.

Cooking was generally done in a sack made from the stomach of a buffalo suspended on a wooden frame over the fire; large spoons of buffalo or mountain sheep horn would then be filled from this "pot" and handed to each of the diners, so the spoons also acted as bowls. Some foods, such as sausages made from stuffed intestines, needed no bowl. Many buffalo horn spoons survive in museums - some have beadwork decoration around the handle.
