The mixture of dried buffalo meat and berries on the plains was commonly known as "pemmican." This nutrient-dense food was made by combining dried and powdered meat with rendered fat and sometimes berries, providing a portable and long-lasting source of sustenance for Indigenous peoples and early explorers. Pemmican was especially valued for its high energy content and was used in various ways during long journeys or harsh winters.

Why were the horse and buffalo important for the plains Indians?

The main animal used by the plains tribes was the buffalo. The buffalo was used by them for food, the skins for shelter and clothing, they had religious rites celebrating the buffalo. No part of the buffalo was wasted. Before the European settlement there were millions of buffalo in the plains. After the civil war an overt effort to kill off as many buffalo as possible was put into place because it was known to be used by the plains tribes. The railroads would stop and people would shoot buffalo until their guns grew hot. Mountains of buffalo were killed. Combined with the killing of the herds was a drought on the plains and the millions of buffalo were no longer there, but were down to a few thousand. This helped push the plains tribes onto reservations.
