Without the buffalo, the Plain's Indians whole way of life could not survive
This statement is clearly true, dependence on the buffalo affected their food and shelter, family life, government and family.
The Indians were nomadic because they had to follow the buffalo as it was their only means of food, shelter, weapons and ritual props.
The buffalo provided food for the Indians; the skin could be boiled, baked, dried or eaten raw. The tongue provided food aswell. The bones and horns could be carved into spoons to eat the food with aswell if necessary.
