Spirit Warrior on the Hunt– Indigenous people of North American often known as the Plains Indians because they lived on the Great Plains for centuries prior to European contact. The region is known for the horse cultures that flourished from the 17th century through the late 19th century.
Numerous Plains peoples hunted buffalo to make items used in everyday life, such as food, cups, decorations, crafting tools, knives, and clothing. The tribes followed the seasonal grazing and migration of the buffalo. The Plains Indians lived in tipis because they were easily disassembled and allowed the nomadic life of following game.
The Plains Indian historically lived without using horses, however, the reintroduction of the horse in the 16th century had a profound impact on the culture of the Great Plains. When horses were obtained, the Plains tribes rapidly integrated them into their daily lives. The horse enabled the Plains Indians to gain access to their subsistence with relative ease from the seemingly limitless buffalo herds. Riders were able to travel faster and farther in search of buffalo herds and to transport more goods, thus making it possible to enjoy a richer material environment than their pedestrian ancestors. For the Plains peoples, the horse became an item of prestige as well as utility. They were extravagantly fond of their horses and the lifestyle they permitted.
Before their adoption of guns, the Plains Indians hunted with spears, bows, and various forms of clubs. The use of horses by the Plains Indians made hunting (and warfare) much easier. With horses, the Plains Indians had the means and speed to stampede or overtake the buffalo. The Plains Indians reduced the length of their bows to three feet to accommodate their use on horseback. They continued to use bows and arrows after the introduction of firearms because guns took too long to reload and were too heavy. Plains Indians moccasins (shoes) tended to be constructed with soft brain-tanned hide on the vamps and tough rawhide for the soles. Men's moccasins tended to have flaps around the ankles, while women's had high tops, which could be pulled up in the winter and rolled down in the summer.
