The amount of meat consumed varied by time of year, region, and success of the hunt. At some points of the year Plains Indians might be forced to survive on roots and berries depending on conditions, and during other times of the year (right after the hunt) an adult male might consume up to five pounds of buffalo meat.

What is the location of the Pawnee?
The Pawnees were historically four tribes: the Skidi, Kitkehaxki, Tsawi and Pitahawirata. Originally each tribe had several villages; in about 1700 the Skidi had between 12 and 19 villages. Their dwellings were semi-permanent earth lodges, with tipis used only briefly when hunting buffalo on the Plains. They lived along the Platte, Loup and Republican Rivers in present-day Nebraska and Northern Kansas, but they had earlier migrated there from further east.
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.

Were the western plains Indian?
The Plains Indians were people living in North America. The Great Plains were home to the Plains Indians, who were mostly hunter-gatherers. Their beliefs and attitudes were based around their religion; therfore many ceremonies were held including Buffalo dances and Sun dances to symbolise why they did paticular activities in their daily lives (e.g. hunting or victory). There were also different nations of the Plains Indians e.g. the Sioux tribe and the Crow tribe. War between tribes was also common. Success in war was a paticular importance to each tribe, as well as to individual warriors. In the main, wars consisted of short, fierce battles which were fought to steal horses or captives. However, because they were nomadic hunters, the aim of war was not to conquer tribes or land- it was for honour, which was achieved by proving courage and bravery.
What did the natime Americans use as tools?
American Indians invented and made tools according to their needs and environment. For instance, the Plains tribes would make many tools out of buffalo bones, while Northeast tribes made them out of stone and wood. Each tool was designed for a particular purpose using the material from each environment which was most suitable for the project.

Where were the eastern plain Indians located?
You are asking about two different areas. There were Eastern tribes and there were plains tribes. Each had different ways of life.
How are the plains Indians and the woodland Indians the same?
Historically they had very little in common as there was many differant cultures in both areas, each with their own beliefs, customs and languages. I'd go into detail, but it'd take way too much time to type. And housing among them was way differant too. Prehaps the only thing the woodland indians had in common with the plains indians was the type of weaponry used such as the spear and Bow.
Did plains Indians get alongwith other tribes?
They didn't "get along" with each other and certainly resented any other tribes competing for the same natural resources.The marginally Plains tribes such as the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Omaha, Kansa, Pawnee and Missouri often left their permanent villages to hunt buffalo, when they would be attacked by the Lakota or Cheyenne. These marginal tribes were forced to rely more and more on their own agriculture as a result.Some Plains groups had friends and allies away from the Plains; the Crow were usually friends with the Nez Perce, but dealings between the two tribes were infrequent and difficult.
Were Comanches nomads?
The Pawnee tribes were not true Plains nomads. They lived on the eastern margins of the Plains in semi-permanent villages of static earth lodges that were protected by palisade fences. A few times each year Pawnee hunters set out into the Plains to hunt buffalo, using Plains-style tipis which were easily transported; they brought all the meat back to the villages for processing.So in the strict sense the Pawnee were sedentary people, not nomads, but there were elements of Plains culture in their lifestyle.See link below for an image:

What did the Sioux Indians live in?
Sioux in the Great Plains lived in tepees. These tepees allowed them to follow the buffalo that they hunted. Like all Indians they weren't wasteful and used every part of the buffalo. Tepees were actually made of buffalo hide. They moved the tepees with poles called travois. One tepee could use up to forty buffalo. Tepees had special marking so it was easy to identify the family that lived there.
How are buffalo horns and bison horns different?
AnswerBison horns curve inward and point at each other. Buffalo horns curve outward. Bull bison horns NEVER point towards each other, only the cow (female) ones do. The words buffalo and Bison (which both literaly translate to "Ox like animal") can both refer to the American Plains Bison (Bison bison bison) and the American Woods Bison (Bison bison athabascae- which is larger). Both species have similar horns. Water buffalo horns are much different.
