" Buffalo chips "
 Login/Join 
posted
I understand that the Plains Indians used " buffalo chips " ( i.e. dried buffalo droppings ) to make fires , there being a shortage of wood on the Prairies . The question is : How could they do this in the winter on the snow covered Prairies ? I have visions of them groping like blind men in the snow to find the " chips " , which would be frozen and wet when thawed .
