Buffalo Rug and Painted Robe

Tatanka, The Buffalo

Buffalo Rug
With the horse, the buffalo became the main source of food. Large-scale hunts --using bow and arrow, and lances-- were common, with dances before the hunts. For the Plains tribes of North America, the bison became a way of life. Tribes like the Sioux, Cheyenne,Blackfoot, Crow, Pawnee, Arapaho and the Shoshone got everything from the buffalo: their food, their tipis, as well as their clothing, tools and weapons. They did not waste any part of the animal. Horns were carved into spoons, hides transformed into robes, even the teeth were used to make necklaces and adorn clothing.
