Although they rode horses, they didn't have cattle. Their version of a cow was a buffalo. They ate the meat, used the skins for clothes and blankets, and made dozens of other products from other parts of the buffalo. This totally would depend upon the tribe. It was was plains Indians who relied upon the buffalo. The far Northwest tribes depended upon fish and sea life. The Woodland tribes depended upon the bear, beaver, deer, etc. It is important to realize that Native American consisted of several tribes spanning the country.
