		Due to the differences between the semi-nomadic farmers of the prairies and the hunters of the high plains, anthropologists and historians often treat the Great Plains Culture area as two separate areas, plains and prairies, with the dividing line being west of the Lower Mississippi and central Missouri Rivers.

		, a land-grant university of the northern plains.
		Ritual polling of undergraduate and graduate students confirms Walter P.

	EDSITEment - Lesson Plan
		The 1795 map represents the Great Plains as a trackless space, a view that stems not only from the mapmaker's lack of knowledge but also, perhaps, from the perception that this part of North America would serve mainly as a pathway to the Pacific.
		Lewis and Clark, who opened the Great Plains to American settlement, included many descriptions of the region in their journals, which are accessible in the Archive section of the Lewis and Clark: The Journey of the Corps of Discovery website.

	NPS Publications: The Blackfoot
		Although the range of the latter extends beyond the plains, it will be seen that the Plains culture area falls within the geographical limits of the great plains, that is, within the region of the greatest bison herds.
		This great dependence upon a single species of animals, then, is the central fact of Blackfoot culture and should be borne in mind in picturing their relationship to other American Natives.
		To say that the Blackfoot, like their other neighbors in the plains, were primarily bison hunters, is not to say that they have not many culture traits in common with Indians of other regions.

	North American Indians - Plains Culture Area
		The Great Plains (sometimes called the American prairies) fills the very center of the North American continent, stretching some 1,500 miles north to south (from the north central regions of Texas to the southern prairies of Canada) andmore than 1,000 miles east to west (from the Mississippi-Missouri Valley to the Rocky Mountains).
		And while the Plains landscape appears to many to be a vast unbroken treeless anduniform grassland, it is in fact broken by ranges of hills andwooded river valleys, and consists of two subregions, the more humid eastern plains with tall-grass prairies andthe drier western plains or steppe, where short-grass prairies dominate.
		Other Plains hunters, such as the Cheyenne, Arapaho, Crow, andDakota were latecomers to the Plains, abandoning their settled agricultural way of life for one of nomadic buffalo hunting and, as was the case on the southern Plains dwellers, raiding the towns of the native peoples of the Southwestern Culture Area.
