What were the Arapahos clothes made out of?
Just the same as all the other true Plains tribes, Arapaho people historically made their clothes of soft-tanned deer and elk skin (collectively known as buckskin). Buffalo hide was used only for moccasin soles and winter robes. Arapaho women used rows of elk teeth to decorate their dresses and produced porcupine-quill embroidery before glass beads became available. Later, blankets were obtained in trade along with coloured glass beads and cloth in red, blue, black or green.
How did mandan Indians act toward white settlers?
The Mandan tribe first encountered Europeans in 1738 and they were said to have been very friendly and welcoming. Over the next 100 years there is no account of Mandans behaving in any hostile way towards trappers, traders, settlers and others they met; they were recorded by Lewis and Clark as friendly people. Constant warfare with other tribes, particularly the various Sioux tribes, the Cheyenne and Arapahos, kept the Mandan population small, but a severe epidemic of smallpox in 1837 reduced them to just 125 people - not enough to keep the tribe from eventual extinction. It was for that reason that they joined together with the Arikaras and Hidatsas, intermarrying with both. With troubles like these the Mandans were in no position to pose any kind of threat to white settlers.
What is the plural of the word Arapaho?
The word Arapaho may already be plural, but there is no general agreement on the correct way to write the singular and plural forms.Its origin is obscure; some people claim it comes from the Pawnee term tirapihu (= he trades, compare Arikara raapih = to buy), others that it is from the Crow words aaraxpéahush (= tatoos-many people) or from a similar Hidatsa word.In either case it is clearly not the tribe's own name for themselves, which is hinóno'éí. The meaning of this word is also not clear, although it looks similar to the word for man or person. It is identical in the singular and plural form.Some modern writers use the form Arapahoe and Arapahoes, or Arapaho and Arapahos; if the real meaning of Arapaho is "many tattoos people" then putting an s on the end seems unnecessary.

When were the arapahos around?
they are a ute tribe. Since 1876 they have lived with their former enemies, the Shoshone, on the Wind River Reservation, occupying some 2 million acres in Wyoming, near Yellowstone National Park. The Arapaho depend on tourism for much of their income. There were close to 7,000 Arapaho in the United States in 1990
Can one visit the Trout Creek battlefield (1872) involving the Shoshonis defending against a combined force of Sioux and Cheyennes and Arapahos?
I looked this up and my research didn't produce a site. I found a town, but nothing denoting a historical site. This is not unusual considering it is Native American and only between tribes.
How did the sand creek massacre end?
Col. John Chivington, US Black Kettle, Cheyenne The Third Colorado had about 700 men; Black Kettle could muster about 500 fighters. About 200 Cheyenne or Arapahos were killed; US losses were negligible. Scattered Indian raids had caused much ill-will between the white settlers and the Native Americans. In the autumn, Territorial (Colorado) officers had offered a vague amnesty if Indians reported to army forts. Black Kettle with many Cheyennes and a few Arapahos, believing themselves to be protected, established a winter camp about 40 miles from Fort Lyon. On November 29, Col. John Chivington, who advocated Indian extermination, arrived near the camp, having marched there from Fort Lyon. In spite of the American flag and a white flag flying over the camp, the troops attacked, killing and mutilating about 200 of the Indians, two-thirds of whom were women and children.
