Some Great Plains tribes followed which major food source migrations?

• A. Salmon migrations
• B. Buffalo migrations
• C. Rice migrations
• D. Corn migrations

Answer: (B)

Plains tribes organized their life around the buffalo. The vast herds moved across the grasslands, and communities followed them to stay close to a reliable food source and to gather hides, bones, and sinew for shelter, tools, and clothing. This mobility created seasonal camps and routes that defined their entire lifestyle. Other options don’t fit the region: salmon runs are coastal, corn farming was not the primary migratory pattern for most Plains groups (though some river valleys did farm), and rice migrations aren’t part of Great Plains history.
