The Culture Of The Western Great Plains

The Sioux Indians tribe culture was to respect mother nature. They also respected each other. They respected everything in the world. Their were more girls and woman than boys and men. The men were the providers. They hunted while the woman were working on the home and cleaning the shirts. One hunter can kill so many buffalo that he can pick out a lot of wives to provide food with. They believed that the bear could help them with their fights because it was a really big strong fighter.

Climate Of The Western Great Plains And Sioux Entertainment

The climate of the Sioux indians was good because it was really hot all the time except for the winter it got supper cold. The Sioux lived in the minnesota area. In the minnesota area their was not that much lakes and rivers. The very few lakes were taken by the Sioux tribe because they could get fish out of the water with their big sticks and they will survive. But at one point the Sioux were getting sick from eating fish over and over again until they started hunting for different animals like the buffalo. The last thing I want to say is that they also stayed near the river to pour water on their heads because it was so hot in that area.



The Sioux played this game called croquet which needed a wooden stick and a wooden pole which entertained them.
