First the strong bow that bends to our hand, then the straight arrow, tough and trim, and the feather that wings it to its mark.

The buffalo moved in herds. The Dakota, Lakota, & Nakota people had to move with them. They lived a nomadic lifestyle. They followed the buffalo to new grasslands or pastures.

Hunting was hard before white people brought horses to the Americas. Most of the tribe had to help hunt the buffalo. The people would herd the animals into a canyon or corral. One of these ancient "kill sites" is found near the town of Buffalo, South Dakota.
