"Village" is a term obviously applied historically by white observers; they could equally have said "camps". Nomadic buffalo hunters did not move around in tribe-sized groups but in many small hunting bands, each with its own chiefs and council of elders. When these hunting bands set up their tipis, often in a circle, the encampment was generally quite small and equivalent to a small rural village.
