Description:
The decimation of wildlife populations and the confinement of tribes to reservations altered hunting and gathering practices among American Indians. Hunger plagued the reservations.
Tribal members living on reservations carried ration cards in small bags. "On there it told how many items they could get. When they would come up to get rations, they had to have this card." -Dorrance Black Wolf, Gros Ventre, 1981
