When the government killed the bison it hurt the Native Americans of the Great Plains because?
Native Americans were hurt because they ate bison as a part of their diet so they lost some food.
Why is there a buffalo on the back of the nickel?
The coin was designed at the start of the 20th century, only about 20 years after the frontier had closed. Its designs were chosen to honor the heritage of our frontier and the Native Americans who lived there and the bison they depended on.
Why was the near extinction of the buffalo bad for many Native Americans?
The destruction of the buffalo was so detrimental to the Native American way of life due to the number of purposes buffalo served. Native Americans used buffalo for everything from food to shelter.
What did Native Americans use to make a tepee?
By using some long, thin poles and the skin of the bison, deer, elk or other large animal (all of which they carried with them), Native Americans built a tepee (tipi). The trick was to take the few sticks and tie then together near one end, and then stand the contraption up. After covering it with the hides, they had a fairly weatherproof and warm structure in which they could sleep. Use the link below to check facts, see pictures and gather more information.
