Life on the Plains
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
Life on the Plains 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
Summer and Fall hunting seasons
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
Cheyenne
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
Horses change way of life
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 as a measure of wealth
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
Cheyenne Today
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

The Southwest Desert cultural region is mostly hot and dry
Tribes who settled here include the Hopi and the Zuni, developing a village way of life based on farming
As a result, they became known as the Pueblo Indians Pueblo is the Spanish word for village
Other tribes did not become farmers Apache became hunters Navajo raised sheep
Pueblos are thought to be descended from the Anasazi (“Old Ones”)
Pueblos followed Anasazi ways Developed irrigation to grow corn, beans,
squash, cotton Housing customs that look like today’s
apartment buildings
The Hopi
Placed their villages at the top of a high mesa to help defend themselves against enemies
Men governed villages, but women owned all the property
Men wove cloth, women wove baskets

Plentiful Natural Resources
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
Wealth and Status Symbols
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
Wealth and Status Symbols
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
