Detailed explanation-1: -Plains Native Americans lived in both sedentary and nomadic communities. They farmed corn, hunted, and gathered, establishing diverse lifestyles and healthy diets.
Detailed explanation-2: -At that time, millions of indigenous people had settled across North America in hundreds of different tribes. But between 1622 and the late 19th century, a series of wars and skirmishes known as the Indian Wars took place between American-Indians and European settlers, mainly over land control.
Detailed explanation-3: -After 1750, warfare and pressure from the Blackfoot, Crow, Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho pushed Eastern Shoshone south and westward. Some of them migrated as far south as Texas, emerging as the Comanche by 1700.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
