What was life like in olden
times in what is now the Great Plains region of the United States?
There were many different Plains people. Some
wandered the plains in search of foods. Others settled down and grew
crops. They spoke different languages. Tribes communicated with hand
signals, smoke signals, mirror signals, and pictographs.

horses make? Why did the Plains people prefer teepees to houses? What were
pictographs? Welcome to the Plains People in Olden Times.
