Native American Report

Native Americans had a different life than us a long time ago.  They lived in teepees made out of buffalo skins.  They would take steam baths to keep clean.  The people used sign language with other tribes.  The men smoked medicine pipes to keep healthy, stay calm, and in religion.  The Native Americans played games too, like shinny with a clay puck covered in beads and a long stick. 

The Native Americans get food just like we do.  They had to hunt buffalo.  The Indians ate adn used all of the buffalo.  The men would take two or three buffalo.  Then they would shoot them with arrows in the rear and drive them off a cliff.  They were not able to farm because of the land.  Instead they picked wild berries.
