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.
Buffalo was the primary source of food, shelter, clothing, and tools for Native American tribes of the Great Plains, such as the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Comanche. These tribes relied on buffalo for their meat, which provided sustenance, while buffalo hides were used to make clothing and shelter, such as tipis. Additionally, bones and other parts of the buffalo were crafted into tools and utensils, making the animal central to their way of life and culture. The buffalo was not only a vital resource but also held significant spiritual importance for these tribes.

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.
Some of the tools that the Maoris made out of bones included spears and chisels. They also made fishing hooks out of bones.
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:

The bones could be easily shaped and sharpened, making them suitable for various practical applications, including sewing and crafting. Additionally, utilizing all parts of the buffalo was a sustainable practice that reflected the resourcefulness of indigenous cultures in North America. This practice also minimized waste, as every part of the animal was repurposed for different uses.
