What did Indians use buffalo snout for?

Answer 1

The thick, strong rawhide from buffalo was used to make moccasin soles (among those tribes that made two-piece moccasins); the thickest hide from the neck and shoulders of a buffalo bull made war shields; rawhide lacing held the stone heads of hammers and berry mashers on their wooden handles; some tribes made snowshoes with rawhide lacing; containers shaped like envelopes or cylinders with closed ends were made of rawhide to contain food, clothing and sacred objects - these containers are today called parfleches.

Rawhide strips could be braided into rope; wooden saddle trees were covered with rawhide and a layer of soft-tanned hide; rawhide strips held the tipi support poles together; some tribes such as the Plains Cree made sun visors of rawhide; the rattles used by Holy men could be made of rawhide; rawhide was stretched across wooden frames to make drums; some north-western tribes made horse "sandals" of rawhide to protect the hooves of their ponies; knife sheaths, horse quirts, belts and many other items were made of rawhide.

Finally, rawhide could be boiled to make a strong hide glue.
