 * __The Buffalo__**

The buffalo was a major part of the American Indian's lives. They used it for much more than just food, they used it to make cooking utencils, toys, fur coats and carpets. A buffalo's woolly fur would be used for warm coats, their hide would be used for carpets, and their horns and bones would be used for cooking utencils and toys. A hunting group of American Indians could kill a whole herd of buffalo in about 15 minutes if they could suround them. Killing buffalo would be very dangeous and noisy for the buffalo and the Indians. After killing a buffalo the hunter's wifes would come over to where the dead buffalo lay, extract the meat, and cut their fur off. A Indian warrior would usually have up to 4 or 5 wives incase they died in battle.
