Buffalo Rug
With the arrival of horse, the
buffalo became the main source of food for many Plains Indian tribes. Large-scale
hunts
using
bows, arrows,
and
lances
were common. The bison became a way of life. Tribes
like the Sioux, Blackfoot, Cree, Ojibway, Crow, and Arapaho got everything from
the buffalo; their food, their tipis, as well as their clothing,
tools and
weapons. Nothing was waisted, horns were carved into spoons, hides transformed
into robes, sinew was used for sewing, fletching arrows and making bow strings,
hoofs were boiled into glue, and teeth were
used to make necklaces and adorn clothing.
