How did the plains Indians use the land? Did they farm? Were they nomadic? Did they weave cloth?

Indians believed that they were closely linked to the land. Anything that lives and grows in the land is put to good use. Men and women share equal parts in their tribes. Men were mostly involved in distributing the goods of their tribe to other places. Women were involved in farming and weaving clothes. Before the Europeans came in, Native Americans lived in hunting and gathering communities in small populations.

They maximize everything that the land gives them. They base their living on the kind of seasons that the environment is giving them. Their clothing comes from animals and their diet changes depending on what animals are available for hunting. They were not nomadic; they built their own small communities and protect their territories from other Native American tribes. They had no concept of owning, everything that was gathered and hunted is to be shared equally to all members of the tribe.
