Five facts about the Plains tribes:
- The true Plains tribes were nomadic and grew no crops of any kind. The one exception were the Crows of south central Montana, who grew a specific type of tobacco that was never used for smoking - it had religious significance and was only used in certain ceremonies and in medicine bundles.
- The Plains tribes depended mainly on two animals - the horse and the buffalo (bison).
- The Plains culture only existed because of the re-introduction of horses to the Americas by white people. The Plains culture was also destroyed by white people in the late 19th century.
- Each tribe spoke its own different language, so communication was mainly by use of an extensive and expressive sign language. This could enable long, silent conversations to be conducted even at a distance.
- The Plains tribes either moved into the Plains after acquiring horses, from the eastern woodlands area (as in the case of the Lakota, Cheyenne and Assiniboin) or from the far north (as in the case of the Plains Cree, Comanche and Sarsi).
native americans came to american log before ev
en Christopher Columbus,their culture tracing back ver very far.Then,in the 1800s the american settlements brgan to move west whre the native americans had set up villages,homes,calm peaceful envoirments andsafe places for their children and families could live.The americans then pushed the native american settelments east and left them to deal with them selves.Some tribes fought back.Then later(much later)there was the battle of little big horn.tribes had long been stuck in reservations a long time by then and many had heard of the great tale of geronimo(a different story entirely)and many had been feeling bold and angry at the americans for sticking them in these cages.So,in 1875 a couple tribes left their territorys and their reservations and difiantly stormed over the land.thety gathered in montana and fought for newland.the u.s army chose to force the tribes back to their land and there was a famous war taking place right on the little bighorn river.a famous person in thiswar would be general george e custer commanding general of the u.s army.there are many others wars in native american history:the black hawke war,the sioux wars,annd the pueblo evolt to name a few.
The US Government semiofficially tried to exterminate them by killing the bison herds they depended on for food. The plains Indians had little choice between being forcibly moved to reservations or starvation. Many in the US Government would have been glad to see the plains Indians refuse to move to reservations and starve completely.
The Sioux Indians are a nomadic tribe of Native Americans. They eventually settled in the Dakotas and fought General Custer at the Last Stand. The Sioux were led by Sitting Bull.
The Great Plains of North America no longer exist, so no tribes live the Plains lifestyle any more. Today most live on reservations.
