The buffalo was the mainstay for the Plains tribes, not just Sioux. The buffalo provided most of the People's meat, which was dried to keep over winter. They provided hides for shelter and for robes. The buffalo horns made utensils. Basically every part of the buffalo was used in one form or another.
The Otoe indians made many leather crafts from Buffalo skin. They made rugs, clothes, sheilds, shoes, game balls (The hair can be wrapped tightly into a sphere), blankets, and pillows. The bones were used as tools for building or fixing things.

Some of the tools that the Maoris made out of bones included spears and chisels. They also made fishing hooks out of bones.
Native Americans used buffalo for food, but they also used buffalo tongue for hairbrushes and buffalo bones for tools. They even ground up buffalo hooves to make glue.
the weapons used by the cheyenne were bows and arrows, clubs, spears, and they made these using the parts of the buffalo. Tools are mainly made from the hooves of the buffalo, and can be used for many things, including being used as a hammer, a carver, and even a knife if no bones are available.
The long bones of buffalo, elk, caribou, bear and deer are thick, dense and hard, providing excellent material for making long, narrow, pointed tools such as awls, hair pins, bodkins, engravers, needles and pins, as well as weaving tools (among certain native groups). Some projectile points and harpoons were made with complex barbed bone heads. Farming hoes and various scrapers were made from flat, wide bones such as buffalo shoulder blades. Bone chisels or levers were used to remove bark from trees; bear ulnas made effective chisels. Some bones, such as the hollow wing bones of golden eagles, made instruments like flutes and whistles. Shoulder blades with notches along the central spine made musical rasps.Various bones made fish hooks, gaming counters, arrow straighteners, and tools for shelling maize. On the Pacific coast, whale bones made tools, war clubs and jewellery. Among the Plains tribes, deer, horse or buffalo jaw bones made effective war clubs; other bones made necklaces, armlets, breastplates and hair ornaments. See links below for images:
