The plains region was home to many native nations. For hundreds of years, these peoples followed the giant, wandering herds of buffalo upon which they were dependent. Clear, informative text and beautiful illustrations help describe the cultures and the ways of life of the different native nations who called the plains their home.
This is a picture book that tells all about the Indians of the great plains. I used it as an introduction to a creative writing lesson. The students made a picture strory just like the Plains Indians did.
