Practical Uses of the Buffalo

It’s fascinating how the Native American’s lifestyle demonstrated their love for the creatures living on land, in air, and water.  The Indians also developed a unique conservation program by creating multiple foods and bi-products from the bodies of animals, birds, and fish.  An example of not being wasteful is the way they processed the buffalo.  The buffalo was more than meat.  The hide was used for teepees, moccasin tops, winter robes, bedding, clothing, pouches, paint bags, quivers for arrows, utensils, knives and weapons.  The Indian women also made dolls from the buckskins.

My appreciation of the Native American way of life is reflected in the wildlife decor we use in our home.  It helps to remind us of the conditions of living in the pioneering days.
