The Plains tribes were constantly at war with each other, which is the main reason they each failed to hold back white American expansion. The Lakota (Teton Sioux) tribes also waged warfare against the tribes living on the margins of the Plains, such as the Pawnee group.
On the other hand, some Plains tribes such as the Crows had allies and friends outside the Plains region - the Crows were friendly with the Nez Perce and the Hidatsa, as well as with the Kiowa on the far southern Plains.
Plains warfare did not usually involve major battles between large numbers of warriors. More often there was a long series of skirmishes and raids, including the stealing of enemy horses. Casualties on your own side were always avoided if possible, since they would reflect very badly on the leader of a war party and could even see him lose all his followers to another war leader.
