For the people of the great plains in the USA, the North American bison (buffalo) was their chief supply of food, and this was also supplemented with deer and antelope. Meat was their entire way of life, from the houses they lived in, teepee's covered with buffalo hides, to ropes and clothing. But not everyone was.
