Today we are looking at the Plains Indians of the United States. These tribes relied almost totally on the Wild Buffalo for their survival. In a way the Buffalo was like a giant "Wal-Mart" containing everything the Indians need to survive and also elements of the culture too! We examined the different styles of hunting and how they changes with the introduction of the horse from Spain. We also looked a2 two short video clips. One involved a recreated buffalo hunt using the "Jump"
method in which a tribe led small groups of buffalo off cliffs for their food. The other clip showed a man make a water carrier out of a real buffalo bladder! YUCK!
