Tribes
Chippewa
Blackfoot
Sioux

Sioux is a tribe of the native Americans in the Midwest.
If a Native American broke a rule they would have to burn down their teepee and get whooped in front of everybody and have to leave the tribe for a year.

Blackfoot tribe lives in Montana which is in the mid west. Buffalo was the black foots main food. They called themselves the " Lord of the Plains". When the tribe would move they would take down their teepee and put it back up when they stopped. Horses helped the native Americans hunt the buffalo and the buffalo was a source of skin to keep them warm.

• Caribou- caribou is a deer like animal and eats grass as the bison does.
• Little amounts of crops- the Native Americans only could grow one or two crops so they traded also for food.

The homes Native Americans had tepees as their houses. Tepees are shaped like a tall cone and could only fit one family in it because they weren't big enough especially if they didn't have permanent settlements. They had a wooden cover for their door. Tepees can break down easily. If a family breaks a rule they have to get whooped in front of everybody and has to burn down their tepees and can't come back to the trove for a year. The tepees were very warm because of how they are made. If they had to move they can also take down their teepee and put it back up.
