Detailed explanation-1: -The Plains Indians were dependent on the buffalo as their main source of food, clothing, tools, and housing materials. They were thus nomads because their way of life depended on following the herds of buffalo as they grazed on lands throughout the Great Plains.
Detailed explanation-2: -Their survival depended on hunting buffalo. The Plains Indians acquired the vast majority of their food and materials from these animals. They therefore developed a nomadic (travelling) lifestyle in which they would follow the buffalo migrations across the Plains.
Detailed explanation-3: -Many tribes, including the Crow and Arapaho (pronounced uh-RAH-puh-hoh), survived by following bison herds as they migrated from place to place. These groups needed homes that could be quickly taken down and rebuilt again, so they lived in tent-like structures made of buffalo skins called tepees.
Detailed explanation-4: -The people nearest the Arctic Ocean relied on temporary houses called igloos in winter, when they moved onto fresh ice fields in search of seals. Caribou hunters and lake and river fishermen used igloos on land. An igloo was usually dome-shaped and made from blocks of snow.
