Plains LITERACY · 5TH GRADE Name Date Read the passage, then answer the questions below. The Great Plains are a vast grassland between the Mississippi and the Rockies, too dry for forest and once home to tens of millions of bison. Some nations, such as the Mandan and Pawnee, lived in permanent earth-lodge villages along rivers and farmed, trading maize to hunting neighbours. Others followed the herds, using tipis of poles and hide that could be taken down in minutes and dragged on a travois. Almost every part of a bison was used: meat dried into pemmican, hide for shelter and robes, sinew for thread, bone for tools, and stomach for containers. The arrival of horses, escaped and traded north from Spanish settlements after 1680, transformed plains life within a few generations, making mounted hunting and long-distance raiding possible. Questions: 1 How did river-valley nations and hunting nations depend on each othe… 2 Name three uses of the bison. 3 How did horses change plains life, and where did they come from? www.littleactivity.com 5th Grade · Literacy
