The buffalo was the main food source and was used for other needs by the plains tribes. Before the Europeans came to colonize North America there were 30 million buffalo, but by 1860's there were only about 15,000 left. This was on purpose because the government made an overt effort to kill as many buffalo that they could so it would eliminate the main food source for the tribes.
