Detailed explanation-1: -Bison were a symbol of life and abundance. The Plains Indians had more than 150 different uses for the various bison parts. The bison provided them with meat for food, hides for clothing and shelter, and horns and bones for tools. They would even use the bladder to hold water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hunters would create a wall about 10-15 feet high as well as a 100-yard chute into the unit. The hunters would drive the herd to the chute by slapping their robes against the ground. Once the herd was inside, they would be shot with arrows.
Detailed explanation-3: -Indians assiduously raised, bred and trained their dogs to protect families, to hunt, to herd, to haul, and to provide companionship. A robust trade of dogs existed between all tribes across the Plains and parts of what is now Mexico and Canada for the purposes of breeding, work, hunting and, sometimes, food.
Detailed explanation-4: -The U.S. wanted them docile, to take up farming on the reservations and stay put. But the Sioux, the Kiowa, and Comanches, nearly all the tribes of the plains, lived alongside buffalo herds and took from them their skins for tents and their meat for food.
