Buffalo

From 2.bp.blogspot.com at Google Images
I put a picture of a buffalo on my site because
 the buffalo was undoubtedly the Cheyenne Indians
 most important food sources. They used everything
on the buffalo.  The horns could become spoons. The
fur could become a blanket. And of course they would
eat the meat.

Teepee



This is a picture of the teepee I made with my group.
It has a flap like the teepees the Plains Indians used
Above it is a picture of the inside of this same teepee.
Inside is a man. He is the chief of the Cheyenne Indians.
If you look on the back side of the inside you will see
a picture of a buffalo hunt with warriors on horses carrying spears.
I drew this picture because that is what your father would
do if he were a hunter for the Cheyenne Indians. You may
think the chief is wearing a cape. He is not. It is a feathered head-
dress.



Totem Pole



This is the totem pole my group and I made. Around its neck is an amulet.
The amulet has a picture of a hawk in front of a moon. It has that picture on
it because that is the name of our clan, The Moonhawks. It has a picture of a horse, a travois, a
buffalo, a river and a prairie at the bottom. It has a horse because the horses
made it easier to hunt the buffalo.  It has the buffalo because buffalo were essential
to the Western Great Plains Indians. It has a river because the buffalo and the horses
needed water to survive. It has the plains because that is where they lived. Last but
not least is the travois. A travois is two sticks tied together at the top. The Plains Indians
used it to carry their babies in good weather.
