That is a fairly vague and confused question. "Bull" is the English term for a male bovine, also applied to the American bison or buffalo.

In Blackfoot the term for a male buffalo is stomick.

In Lakota the word for a male buffalo is tabloka or tatanka; you would say tatanka watakpe for "charging bull".

What is the difference between Plains Cree and Woodlands Cree Indians?

the plains cree had prairie land whereas the woodlands cree lived in a more lively habitat. The Plains Cree used to live in tepees and hunted mainly buffalo, much like the other neighboring plains nations; with the advent of the horse these Plains cultures flourished. Woodlands Cree lived in wigwams (conical structures) similar to the plains, but hunted moose, deer and fished. Woodland Cree commuted the rivers in canoes as a means of transport. There are also dialect differences with some Woodlands and Plains Cree. Also, the dialect of "Y" is used by the Plains Cree and some Woodlands Cree use the "TH" dialect. The Plains Cree also tend to speak in a more sedate (slower) manner and the northern Woodlands speak faster.

Where did the word druthers come from?

"Druther" is merely a slurred version of "I'd rather", especially in regions where the dialect results in "rather" being pronounced as "ruther."
