上一篇我们讲到今天的大平原仍然很大。即使是汽车，以每小时一百公里的速度行驶，也要花两天的时间才能穿过大平原。
今天继续上篇，这里写到:这片平原从北部几百公里的加拿大延伸到大陆中部，一直延伸到南部的墨西哥。在东部，大平原从密西西比河附近开始，向西延伸到巨大的落基山脉。它是米国的中心，这里有大河、沙漠和山脉。其他地区非常平坦，一个人可以看到数百公里。
这片数百万公里的土地曾经被茂密的草海覆盖。这些草为一种动物提供了食物，使大平原上的印第安人的文化成为可能。这些草喂养着美洲野牛。野牛是大平原印第安土著文化的中心。这种巨大的动物为印第安人提供了肉。但这不仅仅是食物。它是大平原上大多数土著人宗教信仰的重要组成部分。
拉科塔部落是大平原上的一个民族。拉科塔人有时被称为苏族人。他们相信生命所必需的一切都在野牛体内。
今天就写到这里。
