Buffalo, also called American bison, no longer roam the Great Plains. The species was hunted so much during the 19th century that it almost became extinct. Now, you can find buffalo primarily in reserves and parks, but not free on the plains.
Buffalo provided the plains people almost everything they needed... :/ examples: moccasins,foods and stuff like that!...................................
Buffalo are not extinct. There are two main species of buffalo: the African buffalo and the American buffalo, also known as bison. While the American buffalo faced near extinction in the 19th century due to overhunting and habitat loss, conservation efforts have helped their populations recover. The African buffalo, on the other hand, is listed as a species of least concern by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

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.
The Plains depended on the buffalo.
