Most tribes were at least part-time farmers, with corn, beans and squash the staple crops. Wild plants, gathered by the women, were another food source, with Indian turnip a favorite. The men hunted deer, elk and buffalo, and some Plain tribes, notably the Blackfoot and the Crow, were primarily hunters. Buffalo were hunted either by stampeding the animals over a cliff, or into a makeshift corral where the huge, swift creatures could be killed more easily. Some cliffs were used by generations of Native people for this purpose, and vast deposits of buffalo bones have been excavated at their bases.

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!
