There are two major branches of Arapahoe tribes: the Northern Arapahoe, who number around six thousand members and are concentrated mainly in Wyoming; and the Southern Arapahoe, who are united with their longtime allies, the Cheyenne Tribe into the Cheyenne-Arapahoe Nation in Oklahoma, with a combined total of eleven-thousand members.

“The Arapaho were nomadic buffalo hunters, whose lifestyle in the 18th and 19th centuries corresponded closely to that of their traditional allies, such as the Cheyenne, Sioux and Gros Ventre, and their traditional enemies such as the Crow, Kiowa and Comanche. They were part of the classic High Plains culture, living in tepees and hunting buffalo on horseback.” (Quoted from: The Arapaho Project)

“The Blackfeet are roving buffalo hunters. They are in many way similar to the Kiowa tribes in that they fight and hunt on horseback, live in skin tipis, practice no agriculture, use the same weapons, and have similar military organizations and tribal ceremonies. They dress in prairie moccasins, breech-cloth, and buckskin dress. The men wore the scalp-lock, usually having the rest of the hair braided and hanging down in front on each side of the head. With some of the Blackfeet, it was pushed up or reached over the forehead. The Blackfeet are very tall with a sinewy build and thin and clear cut features.” (Quoted from: Omaha Public Library, 1998)

“The Cheyenne tribe of Native American Indians were amongst what is now the most well known of plains Indian tribes. Often allying with the Sioux and Arapaho, the Cheyenne tribe originally lived in stationary villages in the eastern parts of the country and occupied much of what is now Minnesota until they migrated to the high plains in the early 1800s. They were divided into the Northern Cheyenne and Southern Cheyenne and ranged from the Missouri River to the Arkansas River.” (Quoted from: http://www.indians.org)

“The Cheyenne are buffalo hunters of the plains and also have traditions of a time when they lived in the east and planted corn. Their tribal 'medicine' is a bundle of sacred arrows in the keeping of one of the southern bands. They are a proud, warlike people, who have left a strong impression on the history of the plains. The Cheyenne are considered to be an strongly conservative group. This tribe is devoted to the ghost dance and as a group are considered the most expert sign-talkers on the plains.” (Quoted from: Omaha Public Library, 1998)

“The Crow were rich in horses obtained through trade and by stealing; they were known as the premier horse thieves of the Plains. Because they moved often and had great numbers of horses, the Crow acted as middlemen in the transfer of goods between various tribes. They also befriended fur traders and trappers and opened further trade opportunities by providing robes and furs to settlers.” (Quoted from: learner.org)

“The name 'Sioux' is an abbreviation of the French corruption Nadaouesioux of the Algonquian name Nadowesiwug, which means 'little snakes.' The Sioux referred to themselves as Dakotas, which means 'allies.' The Sioux were divided into seven clans, and the name they often used was, Otceti Cakowin, which means 'the seven council-fires.'”

“With their Hidatsa friends and neighbors, the Mandan Indians lay at the center of trade along the Upper Missouri River, inhabiting what is now central North Dakota... In Mandan culture, the village was the focus of political, economic and ceremonial activity. It represented a collective of households, all striving together to better each family, clan and the village itself. A sacred cedar post stood at the center of the Mandan village, symbolizing the tribe’s primary cultural hero. The post was surrounded by an open plaza, and at the north end of the plaza was the village’s primary medicine lodge. Forty or fifty additional lodges populated the plaza. The more powerful a family was, or the more significant that family’s ceremonial duties were, the closer its lodge would be to the center.”
