Native Americans of the Great Plains used almost every part of the buffalo, but the bones were not always used.
Buffalo ribs were sometimes used to make the runners for snow-sleds for children's winter games; before traders brought metal arrowheads the ribs could be cut into bone arrow points; with holes drilled through a rib an arrow-maker could straighten the wooden shafts of his arrows; sections of ribs were used in the construction of women's saddles; there were probably more uses as well.
