Answer 1

Winter pemmican, berry pemmican and dried buffalo meat are some of the food products made from buffalo that fed the Native Americans through the winter.

Explanation:

Native Americans were mostly into agricultural activities. Through out the winters, they would feed on the supply they had grown and stored. Irrespective of their agricultural activities, they were heavy meat-eaters. They ate meat of deer, buffalo, elk, turkeys and other kinds of birds, some sea food which would also include whales at times.

Buffaloes were one of the most important resource for the Native Americans. The animal was a source for food, clothing, weapons and tools. As for the food supply in winters, the people stored and preserved various body parts of the buffalo in parfleches, also known as hide containers.
