In 1849, Francis Parkman wrote, "The Buffalo supplies the Indian with the necessities of life..." In what ways did the buffalo do this?

The Buffalo was the main source of food for Indian tribes for a long period of time. Their meat was the main ingredient on the "table" of every Indian. Without buffalo it was impossible to imagine a life of a member of some Indian tribe.

Explanation:

Francis Parkman, who is probably the most famous historian that wrote about Native Americans wrote this because he knew how important the buffalo meat was for them. Unfortunately, when the "white man" came, he killed practically all the buffalo in need for their fur, which was pretty expensive back then.

roosevelt essentially took the opposite approach as hoover in taking on the great depression. herbert hoover thought that america and its economy could naturally recover from the depression in due course, so he adamantly restrained the federal government from intervening on behalf of the people affected. on the other hand, roosevelt dramatically increased employment by expanding the federal government and establishing agencies that would aid in relieving some of the country's worst problems.
