Great Plains: Lakota Sioux (GEO, MIG) (1 gen 1200 anni – 1 gen 1400 anni)

Descrizione:

The Great Plains refer to the area of North America west of the Mississippi, and east of modern Utah. The Great Plains consist of primarily grasslands, prairies, steppes, low overall precipitation, high winds, and a highly variable climate subject to droughts, dust storms, and tornadoes. The plains were also notably populated by great herds of bison/buffalo. The peoples of the Great plains generally lived either nomadic or sedentary lifestyles, with the sedentary tribes generally growing three sisters crops (corn, squash, beans) and later growing grain crops as well (post Columbian Exchange). However, with the introduction of horses into the New World, many peoples of the great plains transitioned into more nomadic lifestyles, hunting and following the migratory patterns/tendencies of the aforementioned bison more easily due to the increased mobility horses brought them. Notably, the Lakota Sioux people of the Great Plains made this transition from sedentary to nomadic lifestyle and took to it very well, becoming quickly a dominant tribe making use of their new horses and the rich supply of buffalo, abandoning the primary use of farming, and making use of new great supplies of animal skin to make their portable tepee homes and various other tools made from their prey, further adapting to their new nomadic lifestyle and the facets of the Great Plains well.
