What are facts about the Native Americans of The Great Plains?

Answer 1

Five facts about the Plains tribes:

1. The true Plains tribes were nomadic and grew no crops of any kind. The one exception were the Crows of south central Montana, who grew a specific type of tobacco that was never used for smoking - it had religious significance and was only used in certain ceremonies and in medicine bundles.
2. The Plains tribes depended mainly on two animals - the horse and the buffalo (bison).
3. The Plains culture only existed because of the re-introduction of horses to the Americas by white people. The Plains culture was also destroyed by white people in the late 19th century.
4. Each tribe spoke its own different language, so communication was mainly by use of an extensive and expressive sign language. This could enable long, silent conversations to be conducted even at a distance.
5. The Plains tribes either moved into the Plains after acquiring horses, from the eastern woodlands area (as in the case of the Lakota, Cheyenne and Assiniboin) or from the far north (as in the case of the Plains Cree, Comanche and Sarsi).

Answer 3

The US Government semiofficially tried to exterminate them by killing the bison herds they depended on for food. The plains Indians had little choice between being forcibly moved to reservations or starvation. Many in the US Government would have been glad to see the plains Indians refuse to move to reservations and starve completely.
