The Plains tribes were nomadic hunters, following the herds in order to obtain meat. Growing most crops was not possible since the tribes did not remain in one place long enough to reap what was sown. Only wild plant foods were eaten, gathered in season by the women.
One exception to the rule was the Crow cultivation of tobacco. This was sacred tobacco used in ceremonies for gaining revenge on enemies and was never smoked; it was grown by the Tobacco Society which (unusually) consisted entirely of married couples. Seed was planted by Society members in May amid much ceremonial, including tribal processions, dancing and feasts. During the growing season there were many taboos intended to ensure a good crop; harvest was in mid-July.

What was the plain indian's environment?
Buffalo was the main source of the Plain Indian's food as it provides them with flesh and clothing! Because buffalos never stay still (they migrate), the Plain Indians always have to be on the move to stalk and hunt down their prey. The Plain Indians were nomads - they do not have a fixed house address like you do. They have to follow wherever the buffalos went - so they needed a type of shelter that can be built fastand can be easily taken down if needed. A shelter that will stay warm during the winter and cool in the summer. Overall, a convenient and comfortable shelter. I'm sure you all have one!
