Plains Tribes
The Plains Tribes are Indigenous peoples who historically inhabited the Great Plains region of North America, which stretches from Canada to Texas. These tribes, including the Lakota, Cheyenne, and Comanche, relied heavily on the vast buffalo herds for food, clothing, and shelter. They were known for their nomadic lifestyle, following the migration patterns of the buffalo.
The Plains Tribes developed rich cultural traditions, including storytelling, music, and art. They lived in portable dwellings called tipis, which allowed them to move easily. Their social structures often included strong kinship ties and communal decision-making, reflecting their deep connection to the land and each other.
