Which statement best describes how deer parts were used by the H people?

• A. All deer parts were used only for ceremonial purposes.
• B. Meat was eaten; hides tanned and used for blankets, moccasins, and clothing; sinew for thread; bones and antlers for tools; rattles from hooves; antlers attached to leaders' gustowehs to reveal the deer's honor.
• C. The deer was hunted only for meat; hides were unused.
• D. Hides were used only for clothing; bones discarded.

Answer: (B)

Deer were used in many ways, spanning food, clothing, tools, and ceremonial regalia. The best choice reflects this range: meat for eating, hides processed into blankets, moccasins, and clothing; sinew used as strong thread for sewing; bones and antlers transformed into tools; rattles crafted from hooves for music or ceremony; and antlers attached to leaders' gustowehs to symbolize the deer’s honor. This shows a practice of using the entire animal and weaving its parts into daily life and governance. The other statements suggest a single-use view—either ceremonial only, or meat only, or hides only for clothing—which doesn’t fit how the H people actually used deer.
