Sometimes, Native Americans left behind the hearts of the buffalo they had killed, believing that the animals would return in large numbers the following year.

Native Americans used every part of a buffalo, even the bones. They used the horns and bones as tools, and to create ceremonial items. They used the skin as clothing, on drums, or as blankets. Nothing from bullalos was wasted or buried.in the ground. They would only kill enough buffalos to be used for the tribe's needs.
