The Native Americans of the Great Plains primarily relied on bison hunting as their main food source, supplemented by smaller game, fish, and gathered plants like berries and roots. They practiced a nomadic lifestyle, following bison herds to ensure a consistent food supply. For shelter, they used tipis made from buffalo hides stretched over wooden frames, which were well-suited for their mobile lifestyle and could be easily assembled and disassembled. This combination of diet and shelter allowed them to thrive in the vast, open landscapes of the Plains.
