  7. I think it is cool that they chase buffalo off a cliff to kill them.They didn't waste any of the buffalo. They used it for clothing and food. I wonder why they traded prisoners. I think it's cool how they make their houses out of sticks, grass, and mud.

  10. The coahuiltecans thought that when a fish had flies and bugs on it, it was ready to eat! Another surprising fact was that when a child from the tribe was becoming an adult, they would get tattooed. I learned from the video that the cherokee played sports. It was a game similar to lacrosse with more people in it, and fewer rules. The strangest thing I learned about my tribe was when a warrior was killed, his wife would rip off some of their hair, roll around in the dust and hit herself with a flint knife. They must have really liked her husband.

  11. The Kiowa indians made leggings in the winter to ceep warm. This is what they used. They used buffalo skin, antelope skin and deer skin. They decorated it with shells beads and animal teeth. The leggings coved them form hip to feet. I love the Kiowas they are a really fun tribe

  12. Each tribe wherever they lived was different and that was interesting. The Caddo Indians they built teepees out of stick and buffalo skin and then they would move and take the teepees with them. Some lived in wood houses that were half below ground and half above ground. These house also had tunnels.

  13. I did not know that Comanches grew tobacco on their farms. I like that different tribes built different houses. Its cool that each tribe has its own legends, like the one on the milky way we heard in the library.

  14. I learned about two tribes who made pit houses. One tribe killed whales with giant spears. Apaches mostly eat meat because they
    hunted a lot of buffalo. Comanches grew tobacco in their farms!

  16. My tribe is called the Comanches. The people in my group is Mary Ellie,Avery and me. Most of the tribes eat buffalo the comanches hunt for buffalo and they eat fruit or antelope sometimes if the food is available. The comanches wear buffalo and and the comanche girls wear buffalo skirts. The comanches are very agressive and they are the best hunters. Acording to my comanche packet on page 74 quoted "The Comanche Indians were experts with the bow and arrow." There bows were made from Osage Orange,ash or hickory wood. The comanches were one of the smartest tribes in Texas the were very quick and could set up a teepee in about 1 to 2 minutes!!! Did you know that there horses came from Spain! Speaking of horses, the Comanche Indians owned over 1,000 horses in there tribe!!! The Comanche Indians live close to SouthEast and SouthWest. The comanches would trade corn with other tribes because they were not a farming type of tribe. Well this is my opion not yours acording to me..... COMANCHES ARE THE BEST TRIBE EVER!!!!!!!!!!
