Answer:

Oral tradition played a significant role in the preservation of tribal history among Plains Indian tribes before they had fully created written versions of their languages. Symbols are ordered chronologically in the pictorial descriptions that are painted on bison hides and are also referred to as "winter counts." Each image represents a certain year and shows a noteworthy tribe-wide event.

Step-by-step explanation:

3 sentences, but they're very crucial, and you're welcome.
