I agree.

The Native American group that had hunters and gatherers who followed the vast herds of buffalo and relied upon the buffalo for their survival is the Plains Indians (option C).

The correct answer is C. Plains Indians.

To arrive at this answer, we can break down the question and eliminate the other options. The question asks for the Native American group that relied on buffalo for their survival and followed the herds.

Option A, California Indians, is not the correct answer because they inhabited a different geographical region, specifically the state of California, where they relied on a variety of food sources such as acorns, fish, and small game.

Option B, Makah, is not the correct answer either. The Makah people are a Native American tribe located in the Pacific Northwest. They traditionally relied heavily on fishing and whaling for their sustenance rather than buffalo hunting.

Option D, Iroquois, is also not the correct answer. The Iroquois Confederacy, or the Haudenosaunee, were primarily settled agriculturalists who practiced farming, growing crops such as corn, beans, and squash. Buffalo hunting was not a mainstay of their survival.

Therefore, the only remaining option is C. Plains Indians. The Plains Indians, including tribes such as the Sioux, Cheyenne, and Comanche, were nomadic hunter-gatherers who followed the vast herds of buffalo across the Great Plains of North America. Buffalo provided them with food, shelter, clothing, and various other essential resources, making them heavily dependent on the buffalo for their survival.

Thus, the correct answer is C. Plains Indians.
