Food the Native Americans Ate
|
BEFORE THE HORSES CAME
Before the Native Americans had horses, they will try to kill buffalo by dressing as wolfs. A lot of people will die trying to kill buffalo. This did not work. The Native Americans had to pray to get food. They did not catch a lot of buffalo to feed the family's. All the family's had to starve. But in 1640, the horses escaped from the Spanish. This was good for the Great Plain people. The horses helped the people because the horse ran faster than the buffalo. It horse could catch the buffalo in no time. This helped the people because they got food everyday. After the horse came, all the people gave up farming, because the horses cached a lot of buffalo each day. Everyone did not need to hope for food. Horses forever changed life on the Great Plains. They allowed tribes to hunt more buffalo than ever before. - |
