Sioux

The Mighty Sioux Tribe

BY CALI DEFORD AND NALANIE PECORA

The Sioux was a mighty tribe who lived in the plains.

The Sioux built an interesting shelter called a teepee. I am going to tell you about it. To begin with the teepee was made out of buffalo skin. For a huge teepee you need about 18 pieces of buffalo skin. The men and boys hunted the buffalo. The women weaved the skin and scrapped it. The women also put it together. Another cool thing about the teepee is it was easy to put up and take down the Sioux travel a lot and it was hard for them .Tocarrey the teeppe a dog or a horse can hold the teepee on the travel , one family could fit in the teepee.As far as one can the teepee was a grate

The Sioux had interesting food. I am going to tell you about it. First there was pemmican.

Pemmican was made out of fat, dried berries, and bison meat. The men got the meat .

The women got the berries and mixed the berries with fat .Another food is buffalo. It was cut up in pieces then put into hot boiling water.T o boil the water they put hot stones in the water As far as one can see the Sioux had great food.

The Sioux wore inserting clothes. First on their feet they wore moccasins. Mccasins were made out of fur and deer skin. The men wore moccasins when they were in war. The men also wore buffalo skin made into a robe. The men wore the robe in winter when they where hunting.   It kept them very warm in the harsh freezing cold winter. In conclusion the Sioux had interesting clothes.                                                                      

  The Sioux had interesting weapons and tools. The first weapons I am going to tell you about the bow. The bow was used for hunting mostly. The bow is super short. The bow had a small sticks and string. Another is a bone flesher. The bone flesher was made out of  bison and elk bones. The bone flesher took fat off of hides. As far as one can see Sioux had great weapons and tools.
