“The environment of a region determines the lifestyle of the aborigines that live there”.this statement connects to the Indians of the plains. They used almost everything that they could find and make it into something useful for them to use. They ate animal meats for food. Natural resoursces were also used to produce clothing, shelter and utensils. Third, their style of transportation is mostly by foot (walking). Another type of transportation was introduced later on, which lead to a lot of new things they could do better and faster. The plains stretch up to Alberta and go down through America all the way down to Texas. Their climate is very simple, their summers are very drought, and in the winter it gets colder, but not by much so that it starts to snow. Sometimes they had bad weather, like hail storms
Overall, the arrival of the horse dramatically increased the ease of their lifestyle.
Food was also an important aspect of life for them, because without it they could not survive. The plains people were lucky and had a variety of foods, but one type of food that no one else had was the pemmican. It was a combination of buffalo meat grinded an powder, mixed with fat. This mix would not spoil or rot in any kind of conditions, it could last for years. It was stored in a parfeche. Made from skin with long flaps, that folded over each other and laced shut.

They used the buffalo’s stomach for cooking pots, buckets, and storage bags. Spoons, cups, and ladles
