Steer Buffalo=Beefalo

Steer Buffalo=Beefalo: To the Native Americans of yesterday, the Buffalo (American Bison) was so much more than just food. They were a way of life. No animal has ever had such an impact on the lives of so many than that of the American Bison (Buffalo). To the Lakota, Cheyenne, Sioux, Cherokee and many other Indian Nations of our Great Plains Region, and to the north, every part of the Buffalo was used. The meat was used as food, the hides for clothing and shelter, the stomach and bladders for carrying and storing water, the guts and sinew for sewing and the bones were used for tools and weapons.
