In August 1867, Roaming Leader, a member of the Skidi band of the Pawnee nation, on orders from his chief, led a scouting party to look for buffalo. The whole band—several dozen men, women, and
children—had left its village of mud lodges in northwestern Nebraska two months earlier for the annual buffalo hunt. As the scouts rode along the Platte River, they carefully avoided Cheyenne and Arapaho hunting parties that might attack them and take their horses. Eventually, the Skidi party found three buffalo standing alone by a creek. Quickly and skillfully, they shot the animals and butchered them so they could carry the carcasses back to camp on their five horses. There, outside the tents, which had been carefully arranged according to constellations of stars in the sky, women deftly cut up and dried the meat, then made mats out of the intestines, robes and blankets out of the hides, and implements out of the bones.

a. They were farmers who grew a lot of the food they ate.
b. They hunted with guns.
