Haha buffalo! :D
They mainly depended on horses and buffalo. The horses gave them speed-an essential element on the Plains and the buffalo gave them: food, shelter, utensils, clothes, needles, and ect.
Two groups of Indians known for their hunting lifestyle are the Plains Indians and the Inuit. The Plains Indians, including tribes like the Sioux and Cheyenne, relied heavily on buffalo hunting for food, clothing, and shelter. The Inuit, native to the Arctic regions, hunted seals, whales, and other marine animals, using specialized tools and techniques suited to their harsh environment.

I hope this kinda helps... Well, most Native Americans (including the Plains Indians) were forced onto reservations as a result of western exploration. This began during the Jacksonian era (Cherokee tribe, Georgia, Trail of Tears) and continued throughout the 1800s. While some tribes did what they were told and moved onto small reservations and became farmers, some of the Plains Indians fought back. A big think for the Americans was to "civilize" these Native Americans - the Americans thought that they needed to teach the Native Americans to farm, and settle and live the "proper lifestyle." Obviously, the Plains Indians just wanted to live their lives according to their traditions and customs. Two major things that really hurt the Plains Indians was the Wounded Knee Massacre (and all the other battles in which the Americans were able to dominate using guns vs. primitive weapons) and the Buffalo Bonanza that began with Western Expansion. While the Native Americans killed buffalo based on need and used every part of the buffalo for different purposes, the Americans got into buffalo hide (making clothes/etc out of it) and would kill them for sport. Buffalo Bill is a famous hunter who killed tons of buffalo in such a short amount of time that he depleted the buffalo population significantly and the Plains Indians were one of the groups that suffered. So basically, the Plains Indians were more stubborn in giving up their lifestyle and unfortunately paid the price with their lives.
The two most important things to the Plains Indians were Buffalo and earth lodges

There were far more than just two tribes that greatly depended on the buffalo, but two examples would be the Plains Cree and the Assiniboine. I hope that helps!
they are all the same
The plains tribes which included the Sioux, Blackfoot just to name two.
the two most important resources were: 1 buffalo/bison 2 water they needed both of these to survive their lives so these are the most important. -BIRTHDAY girl
The American bison (often referred to as the buffalo) was central to the Plains Indians' way of life but was hunted almost to extinction by whites. It was not white settlers who destroyed the buffalo herds, though, but the railroads, the demand for buffalo hides by Easterners, and the U.S. Army. In the two decades after the U.S. Civil War, several railroads were built through what had been buffalo grazing grounds. Hunters like Buffalo Bill Cody were hired to kill buffalo because the buffalo obstructed the laying of track and also because the buffalo provided meat for the railroad workers. Cody is said to have killed over four thousand buffalo in just 18 months working for one of the railroads. There was a great demand for buffalo robes (tanned hides with the fur left on) because of their exceptional warmth, and especially when they became a desirable fashion accessory, white hunters would shoot as many bison as they could (dozens in a single day), strip them of their hides and leave the meat to rot on the prairies. The U.S. Army joined in the slaughter of the buffalo to open land for settlers and the railroads and, some say, to help destroy the Plains Indians by depriving them of their primary source of food and many other necessities.
