The Shoshone fall into approximately three groups: Western Shoshone, Northern Shoshone and Bannock, and the Eastern Shoshone. It should be noted that because Shoshone culture [...]
The Sioux are a diverse group of tribes most easily identified by their related languages. This group, which extends across three geographically and culturally distinct divisions, comprises the Siouan language family (DeMallie 2001). These divisions were recognized by the U.S. government in the early nineteenth century and included the Santee Sioux who consider themselves [...]
The Salish in the greater Northern Plains region includes the groups called the Flathead and the Pend d’Oreille.

It is widely believed that the Gros Ventre tribe was at one time part of the Arapaho tribe that had split off. It is unknown when or why these two tribes separated (Kroeber 1908). The Gros Ventre tribe was not [...]

It is generally believed that the Crow originated near the Bear Paw Mountains at Three Forks on the Missouri River and separated from the Hidatsa and moved west onto the Plains region during the 1500s to 1600s, as suggested through linguistic [...]
Similar to other eastern and Great Lakes Tribes that began to migrate westward following the arrival of Europeans, the Cree speak dialects of the Algonquian language group, similar to the languages spoken by the Ojibwa, Fox, and Menominee. Variations and dialects within the Cree language show greater diversity between the eastern and western groups [...]
