The buffalo was vital to many Native American groups as it provided food, clothing, shelter, and tools, serving as a cornerstone of their livelihoods and cultural practices. Tribes such as the Plains Indians relied on buffalo for sustenance, using nearly every part of the animal in daily life. The buffalo also held spiritual significance, often symbolizing strength and abundance in their beliefs and traditions. The decline of buffalo populations due to overhunting and habitat loss profoundly affected Native American societies, disrupting their way of life.

Some of the Native Americans hunted buffalo and when the white people came they killed buffalo for fun and that hurt the native Americans because they hunted buffalo and they could not hunt very many because there weren't that many left
One tradition for Native Americans are to use every single part of the buffalo.

The Native Americans of the great plains depended on the buffalo. They ate its meat and made their clothing and homes from its skins. White men's guns killed the buffalo depriving the Native Americans of food, clothing, and shelter. White men's cows ate the grass the buffalo needed. White men's fences prevented the buffalo from changing pastures. Thus, the white men made it impossible for the Native Americans to continue their relationship with the buffalo.
