The Dakota tribe originally lived in North and South Dakota but also traveled to Iowa. They hunted buffalo, elk, and deer for food and gathered fruits and potatoes. The Dakota lived in large tipis and the women wore long dresses while the men wore buckskin shirts. They used bows and arrows in hunting as well as buffalo hide shields. Women cooked and cleaned while men hunted to feed and protect their families. One of their traditions was the Ghost Dance which was performed for the dead and believed would transform the world.
