What were hunting techniques of the Navajo tribe?

Answer 1

The Sioux Indians hunted the Mighty Buffalo. Like the Eskimos they depended upon the success of the hunt for their food and clothing, and in addition they depended on the Buffalo to provide the skins for their Tipis or tents. These consisted of four polls tied together at the top, with the bottom forming a circle and this framework was covered with buffalo skin.

The all- important Buffalo were hunted in the Great Buffalo Hunt which took place anually, and was the most important event of the tribe's year. A Special chief of the hunt was chosen, and all braves were reminded of the rules of the hunt.

They would send scouts out to spy on the herds and come back and report on the size and the whereabouts of the herd, the actual attack took place, with all the men and boys taking part. Using fire,and making a great din to frighten the animals, the hunters stampeded the mighty beasts into huge corrals where they killed them with arrows.
