The semi-sedentary, village-dwelling Plains Indians depended upon agriculture for a large share of their livelihood, particularly those who lived in the eastern parts of the Great Plains which had more precipitation than the western side. Corn was the dominant crop, followed by squash and beans. Tobacco, sunflower, plums and other plants were also cultivated or gathered in the wild. [26] [27] Among the wild crops gathered the most important were probably berries to flavor pemmican and the Prairie Turnip.

With the arrival of the horse, some tribes, such as the Lakota and Cheyenne, gave up agriculture to become full-time, buffalo-hunting nomads. [ citation needed] Osborn, Alan J.

[145] Israel has protected its wolves since 1954 and has maintained a moderately sized population of 150 through effective enforcement of conservation policies. These wolves have moved into neighboring countries. Approximately 300–600 wolves inhabit the Arabian Peninsula. [146] The wolf also appears to be widespread in Iran. [147] Turkey has an estimated population of about 7,000 wolves. [148] Outside of Turkey, wolf populations in the Middle East may total 1,000–2,000.

Many wolf populations continued to exist in wilderness areas, away from human influence. As a consequence of the increasing human population and economic growth, these areas have become surrounded by farms and cities.

Historically, Plains Indian women had distinctly defined gender roles that were different from, but complementary to, men's roles. They typically owned the family's home and the majority of its contents. [34] In traditional culture, women tanned hides, tended crops, gathered wild foods, prepared food, made clothing, and took down and erected the family's tepees. In the present day, these customs are still observed when lodges are set up for ceremonial use, such as at pow wows. Historically, Plains women were not as engaged in public political life as were the women in the coastal tribes. However, they still participated in an advisory role and through the women's societies. [35] Some wolves species only live in the United States in forests and other areas where animals are plentiful to consume due to their dietary needs. Others live in the cold Arctic regions where there are hardly any other animals surviving there due to the bitter cold. Klein, D. R. (1995).

The buffalo and eagle are particularly sacred to many of the Plains peoples, and may be represented in iconography, or parts used in regalia. In Plains cosmology, certain items may possess spiritual power, particularly medicine bundles which are only entrusted to prominent religious figures of a tribe, and passed down from keeper to keeper in each succeeding generation.
