    Buffalo was a huge part in their sacred ceremonies. They use buffalo bone, hide, and meat for certain things. The Sweat Lodge ceremony is a symbol for purification. They make a dome out of long sticks and use buffalo hide to create an air tight roof (Lakota Culture, 1). Rocks are the most important part in this ceremony. Before bringing the rocks into the dome, they would heat up rocks in a fire pit outside of the dome. Once the rocks were hot, they would bring them inside and set them in the middle. The people would pray while water was being pored on the rocks to create steam. The Sioux believe that the steam is the breath of the creator and that "the rocks are the oldest things on earth, and when they are heated, they come back to life" (Lakota Culture, 1). Another very important ceremony was the Vision Quest. Men went to a hill for four days and nights and would fast during this time. Throughout the time of being there, they had to pray and wait for a vision. The vision would be told to the other tribe…

    There are three geographical-linguistic groups, but when they’re looked at as a collective, they’re known as Blackfoot.

    These earth lodges were usually big enough to shelter up to seven families at a time. For example, “The Mandan Indians lived in settled villages of round earthen lodges. Mandan lodges were made from wooden frames covered with packed earth. When Mandan men went on hunting trips, they often used small buffalo-hide tepees as temporary shelter”(source A). This shows that the houses the Mandan people lived in were lodges made of earth and usually very large enough to hold seven families. This also shows that when the men were on hunts they set up buffalo hide tepees as temporary shelter. The Mandan clothing was very unique because the man and women wore many different animal hides. For example. “The clothes worn by the Mandan men consisted of breechcloths, fringed buckskin tunics and leggings. Warm buffalo robes or cloaks or blankets were also worn to protect against the rain and the cold”(source B). This shows that the Mandan wore many different types of animal hide clothing. This also shows that they used their resource that nature provided to them. All in all the mandan people had very unique living and clothing…
