Great Plains Culture Area |
||||||
 |

 |
||||||
| The Great Plains culture area encompasses a vast region of predominantly treeless grassland. When European explorers first reached the Americas in the late 15th century, most Native Americans of the Great Plains were villagers and farmers. The introduction of horses to North America, brought by the Spanish, made possible a new way of life on the Great Plains. Peoples who once farmed and lived in villages took to the Plains on horseback to become nomadic hunters, especially of the buffalo. | ||||||
