Years ago Native Americans discovered what they believed was a gold mine. They noticed a herd of 30 to 60 million Buffalo's roaming the plains. The Native Americans hunted the buffalo so they can maintain an accurate amount of food. By the 1700's the Native Americans tamed some of the buffalo, which made hunting easier. The Native Americans moved with the herds so they can have a good supply of food. The Native people used different methods of hunting. One method use is called the Dog Soldier. A group of Native people who are called this, push some of the herd over a cliff so some of the animals would die. During winter they would chance the larger animals onto frozen lakes and slaughter them. The ice made it difficult for the buffalo to run. Warriors did the killing. The woman were responsible for getting the meat. The rest of the buffalo was used for clothing, shelter and weapons. Native American knew that their survival depended on the buffalo. They never killed too many. They only killed wanted they needed and celebrated the life of the buffalo after.

<span>The term renaissance typically refers to the European Renaissance, which spans the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries. The European Renaissance originated in Italy and quickly spread throughout Europe and was marked by political stability, as well as the significant advancements in areas such as technology, culture, art, and others. There is controversy in the meaning, as it is typically explained as a time of great progressive values shared by all. In fact, the renaissance, particularly between the late 14th century and the mid 15th century, was marked by general air of "againstness", as explained by Bob Duggan at Big Think. The most powerful organizations in the known world, most notably the Catholic Church, was challenged on all fronts and from within. As most of the artists of the renaissance are known for their work with the Church, the idea of religious art is seen as one of the first areas effected by the change.</span>
