Wuhere the Indians successful at solving the problems of lining on the Great Plains? The Indians were very good at making the most out of the few resources that they had access to whilst living in such a deserted place, this was the main reason that they were able to inhabit the plains, whilst no one else thought that it was possible. Firstly they used the Buffalo to a great standard, not leaving any of its body behind after it has been hunted. They would use its hide for clothes, carriers and the main material for the construction of the tipis. They would also use it’s bladder for food bags, it’s tongue as a hair brush, and even its brain for tanning hides.
The Red River Métis, along with many other Prairie-Plains groups, had a relied heavily upon the buffalo as a means for food and other products. There were two main hunts every year; one in the spring and one in the fall. The Métis had to travel a distance from their Red river settlements in order to find the buffalo herds to hunt (DeMallie, 2001). “Men, women and children all went along on the hunts, because they needed as many people as possible to transport all of the buffalo hides and meat back home” (Canada’s First Peoples, 2007). The entire Métis community took part in these hunts.
The quiver and arrow were probably used by John Ross, the Cherokee Chief, to hunt food and to project the nation while on the Trail of Tears to Indian Country in Oklahoma in 1838 during the Age of Jackson. The quiver is made from genuine deerskin used exclusively by the Cherokee in Georgia before the Trail of Tears. The beads are made of bird bones which were often used as decoration and on jewelry for both Cherokee women and men. The Cherokee often used bear claws to represent the most successful warrior on necklaces and arrow quivers. The hand-made stitching on the arrow quiver is authentic and made from “sinew thread or deer tendons” which were used in the 1800 time frame to sew clothing and accessories.

I'm a half brother and I'm full Navajo. The Nez Perces were able to aquire hunting tags for a Bison hunt near west Yellowstone in Gardiner Mt. We have always been told stories of how our predecessors used the buffalo. Our religion and prayers songs are all passed down from the buffalo culture so it was especially significant for us to be apart of this. My wife is Blackfeet from the plains and it was a special treat to sit down to a fresh buffalo tongue and roasted meat feast with our children.

The author uses some technical language such as ‘vitaminC’ and ‘scurvy’ to implie that this is the only source of food, energy, tools and money in the High Arctic, which shows her sympathy to the hunters as hunting for Narwale is the only job they can do. The area in the High Arctic is not suitable for growing other vegetables. Narwhals has a rich source of useful nutrition, so Inuit people catch the narwhal as a main source of food. Also, the Narwhal’s ivory can be used for many things such as ‘harpoon tips’, ‘hunting implements’ and ‘central beam for their small ancient dwellings’. These fully describe that Inuit people can’t live without the Narwale, as it can help the Inuit people to survive.
