The Plains by Luke Nelson summarizes life on the plains for Native American tribes like the Blackfeet and Shoshone. The plains were flat grasslands that experienced wildfires in the summer and very cold winters. Tribes lived in structures like hogans, teepees, and pueblos made from logs and grass. They used local plants for medicine and building materials. Buffalo provided the main source of food and materials for tools and weapons. Clothing was made from buffalo skins and decorated with bone beads. Today, some plains tribes live on protected reservations.
