How Are The Assiniboine Similar

I bet you know about Native Americans, but do you know about the Assiniboine? The Assiniboine is one of the least known tribes, but I think the most unique. They were different in their own way from all of the others, but they still had similarities.
The Assiniboine did more hunting than farming because wherever they moved, the Northwest around Montana and North Dakota, they could never find any good soil. The climate was dry, hot, or freezing, and the soil was hard, dry, and horrible for farming. On their journeys to their different locations, if they needed food, they would sometimes eat the dogs and pups that pulled the travois. They hunted lots of game such as buffalo, bear, and elk, but they also caught smaller game, such as rabbit, deer, wild turkey, bighorn sheep, etc. Not only men went on the hunts, women went too to carve and pack the meat. The Assiniboine mainly used bow and arrow and blow guns for hunting but if needed they would use a war club.

Their clothing was much different from ours today.

The women and girls would wear long deer skin or buffalo hides with moccasins and in the winter a buffalo hide coat. The men and boys had certain clothing for certain seasons. In the summer, they would wear breechcloths and winter, they would usually wear leggings and deer hide robes with moccasins. The Assiniboine would only cut their hair when a loved one died. The Assiniboine wear clothes that most people wear today but on special occasions, they wear the clothes that the traditionally wore. The Assiniboine do not use their old traditions that much, but they do every once in

awhile.
The Assiniboine was one of the northwest tribes. They were located in North and South Dakota, Montana, and Alberta. The Assiniboine tribe moved frequently, so they needed a village that they could pack up in 1-2 hours. To be able to achieve this challenge, they had tipis that were made out of tall logs about 12 feet tall that supported buffalo hide around it to keep in warmth from fires. After the Spaniards introduced horses to America, the Assiniboine started making the tipis almost twice the size because the horses could carry more than the dogs.
The Assiniboine are definitely not one of the most well known tribes, and the reason is they were one of the smallest. They didn’t own much land and didn’t have as many people. Their food was similar, almost the same, and same with their housing. Many tribes used tipis. The Assiniboine clothes were different, though. All tribes are different from each other in their own, special ways.
