The Sioux tribe lived nomadically in the Great Plains region, following buffalo herds across states like North Dakota, South Dakota, Montana, and Minnesota. They lived in portable tipis made of buffalo skins and wood poles. The women were responsible for constructing and maintaining the tipis. The Sioux subsisted on the region's natural resources, hunting buffalo, deer, and other game and gathering fruits and vegetables. Boys were taught hunting skills in informal schools while girls learned domestic tasks like tipi construction. The Sioux decorated their clothing with porcupine quills, feathers, and other adornments for special occasions.
