Food and Environment of the Plains Indians
The Plains Indians lived in the area from the
Mississippi River to the Rocky Mountains and from
Canada to Mexico. The most important tribes were the
Sioux, Blackfoot, Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa, and Comanche.
The plains area was hotter than 100 degrees in the summer, and could drop to 40 degrees below zero with heavy snows in the winter. The region was so dry that when it rained it often flooded. The Great Plains was made up of grasslands, valleys, streams, and hills. There were very few trees or mountians found in the Great Plains area. The great Plains area had many wild animals. The Plains Indians would hunt these animals for their meat and their hides. Generally, the Sioux Indians were nomadic, meaning that they never really stayed in one place for a very long amount of time. Typically they followed the pattern of the buffalo, assuring them that there would be food and clothing wherever they traveled. Most decendants of the Great Plains tribes still live in areas of the
United States and Canada where the buffalo once roamed.
