The first date has to be an estimate, but since the dinosaurs effectively dominated the mammals by the start of the Jurassic (201 mya) we could reasonably credit them with 136 million years "in charge" using 65 mya (the end of the Cretaceous and a spectacular change in the fossil record) as the second.

Who are hangs around the fort people?

As time passed and the reservation system became forced upon my Lakota ancestors (and other nations), these two ways of living became more separated and looked down upon by those of each group. Those who held to the traditional ways of life and belief became the "traditionals", and that term became a contemptuous epithet used by those who were trying to live the ways of the dominant culture. Those who were adopting the dominant culture's ways became the "hang-around-the-fort Indians", and that term became a contemptuous epithet used by those who were trying to live the traditional ways of the Lakota culture.
