The Life Of A Plain Indian The life of a plain Indian was one of simplicity and routine. As with most other Native Americans, plain Indians were very resourceful and were “one with their land.” Plain tribes such as the Sioux and the Cheyenne were dependent on the flourishment of the local wild food and the herds of buffalo. Also these Native Americans were very sheltered; they knew very much about life east of the Mississippi. Once peaceful plain Indians but later turned rebellious due to the white man’s destruction of what these Indians believed was sacred. First some of the major problems Indians had with the settlers were land and the buffalo. Land, settlers claimed whatever land they wanted whenever and no matter whose livelihood it destroyed. This idea of Manifest Destiny was reasoned that “Native Americans had forfeited their rights to the land because they hadn’t settled down to improve it.” Buffalo, the main source the plain Indian depended on. The plain Indian treated this animal as sacred performing rituals before and after killing and also using every part for some need.
