What were the main characteristics of the Plains Indians culture?

Every tribe was different, although certain elements were common to most of the Plains tribes. The true Plains peoples were entirely nomadic, following migrating herds of buffalo, antelope and deer that provided the major portion of the diet. They therefore needed mobile dwellings: the tipi-style lodges that had different names in each of the many Plains languages.Each tribe was based on clans and small hunting bands; only very rarely would an entire tribe come together in one place - and this would only be for a very short time due to lack of sufficient food and grazing. Consequently most tribes had no head chief.All plains people depended on horses for transport, hunting and warfare. Some war parties set out on foot, in the expectation of stealing enemy horses that could be ridden and herded back to camp.Bows were the primary weapon for hunting and in war.The Plains people generally lacked pottery since it was far too heavy and fragile for a nomadic lifestyle; instead containers of rawhide (parfleches) were made, which were very light and durable.Hunting bands would not remain in any one place for more than a few weeks, except in winter when a sheltered valley would be used for many months.

What forces controlled the size of the hunter gatherer bands?

The size of hunter-gatherer bands was likely influenced by factors such as resource availability, social dynamics, and ecological constraints.

Social relationships and cooperation would have also played a role in determining band size.
