Salvete Omens,
The Memorial Day weekend came and went and let us share this video of Bison, People and Plains from Ancient Americas Yt channel.
Before the coming of the horse the bison (Plains and Wood Bison)
and indigenous people lived in a particular relationship, with perhaps as many as 30 to 35 million bison living in the North America, hunted by the Indians and thus providing them with food, skins for tents and clothing, bone tools and many, many other uses.
The dogs pulled smalledr travois and thus their tipis were smaller. During the 1500s the Plains Apaches who were the nomads lived in their wickiups in their Plains rancherias.
.
The dominant pre-Columbian Plains inhabitants were the horticultural tribes who lived in the Plains from time immemorial. They lived by the rivers in the river valleys with fertile soil, in their permanent earth lodge villages (eg Pawnees, Mandan etc) or like the Caddo confederacies in large towns made out of the grass houses.
Their hunts were seasonal and when hunting they also used tipis for dwellings during this communal hunts.

ps there is a project Hunt Primitive in North America, where they hunt animals, including bison, with stone weapons - bow and arrows, atlatal, spears etc.
