 The Great Plains region was and still is a relatively flat area with few trees as opposed to the woodland regions  In the plains, people followed a hunting and farming type of life  Settled near rivers to help with water for their crops  Corn, beans, squash, pumpkins

 Lodges were built to live in  Large, round huts over a deep hole  The walls were made with packed earth over a wood frame  Buffalo grazed in this region and were essential to the people who lived here  Major source of meat  Hides were used to make blankets and clothing  Horns were used to make bowls  Stomachs were used to be cooking pots for stew

 Groups of plains tribes traveled to hunt the massive buffalos  Hunters were on foot, so it was difficult to get close to the animal  While on the hunt, people lived in tepees set up by large poles wrapped in buffalo hide

 In the 1500s, people from Spain brought the horse to the regions of the Aztec and Maya in Mexico  Some horses broke free and wandered north  200 years later, the Cheyenne tamed horses that had become wild

 The Cheyenne made hunting Buffalo much easier  Now, a single hunter (instead of a group) could ride a horse up to a herd of buffalo and use his bow and arrow  Horse allowed the Cheyenne to become more mobile  A horse drawn travois moved faster and could hold 4 times more than a dog pulled travois

 Horses became so important to the Cheyenne that they became a measurement of wealth  Sometimes tribes raided other tribes to capture the horses  Riders became skilled in war and in hunting

 About 12,000 Cheyenne live in the state of Montana on a reservation  Cheyennes still follow traditions by keeping their language and ceremonies alive  Every July 4, the Cheyenne have a powwow where visitors can see traditional dances and games

 Forests contain many tall, sturdy cedar trees  Rich for hunting  Coastal waters and rivers were filled with fish and seals  There was no need to grow food, instead the people of the Northwest Coast could get all they needed from hunting and gathering

 Tribes such as the Kwakiutl felt that since they were so rich in natural resources, they must display wealth and generosity  Copper shields and stacks of blankets were common gifts at the potlatches  A carved post with animals and images representing a person’s ancestors was another way to show wealth  This is called a totem pole

 People displayed totem poles proudly, some as high as a four-story building  Some became master carvers because of the abundance of wood available  Canoes were dug out of single cedar logs to help hunt on the sea
