An interpretation of Dakota on a buffalo hunt in Minnesota by Seth Eastman in 1846-48. Dakota used bows to hunt animals for food, clothing, and shelter. Communities often moved to chosen hunting grounds, making sure no area was overhunted. Ohanwaste, or generosity toward everyone, was an important part of the Dakota hunter's life.
