A Sioux man prided himself on his accomplishments in both warfare and hunting. There were also avid sportsmen. The Sioux gathered wild rice, hunted, and fished on their ancestral lands in Minnesota, but when they moved on to the Great Plains buffalo provided most of their material needs. They also hunted elk, antelope, deer, rabbits, foxes, and coyotes.

When hunting buffalo, they would often ride up beside the beast and use sharp spears to kill their prey. Other times Sioux hunters would chase or lead the buffalo towards a cliff or steep hill. At the bottom of the cliff, the hunters would jump on the buffalo and quickly kill them.
