buffalo
Name is based on an Oto Indian word that means "flat water," referring to the Platte River.
Otoe (also known as Oto) - part of the Siouan Tribes (Winnebago) of the Great Lakes region.
The first Indian tribes to council with Lewis and Clark were the Mandan and Hidatsa tribes in present-day North Dakota. The explorers exchanged gifts with the tribes, including beads, cloth, mirrors, and other trinkets.
The Oto and Missouri tribes lived so closely together that they are often treated as one people: the Oto-Missouri. They originally lived in the area that later became the Iowa-Minnesota border, later migrating westwards to settle in Nebraska, near the Platte river. They lived mainly in earthlodges like the Mandans, Hidatsas and Arikaras, sometimes using tipis or bark lodges when out hunting. From this it is obvious that buffalo meat was eaten, but they were also farmers growing beans, maize, squash and pumpkins (the usual native crops).
There are many, many Indian plains tribes. There are nations and tribes and clans within those nations. It would be impossible to list all of them. Some well known tribes are the Cheyenne, Northern and Southern, the Arapaho, DeSota, Cree, Osage, Sioux and their many clans, Crow and Mandan. Lesser known tribes would include Assiniboine, Arikara, and Oto.
The population of Diche Oto is approximately 50,000.
