The true Plains tribes all used a large type of tent constructed of poles (most often from "lodgepole pines" obtained in the foothills of the Rockies or from the Black Hills region) fitted with a semicircular cover made from buffalo hides tanned and then stitched together. Lodge pole pine trees were chopped down and placed upright in long, thick, logs for the framework of the teepee. The logs were tied together at the top by deer sinew. The buffalo hide was then placed around it and the bottom cut out for entrance flaps. The top could also be opened to create a chimney where the smoke from an indoor fire that kept a family warm came billowing out.
Each tribe had its own name for this tent:
The Dakota were the easternmost group of Sioux tribes - the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes. They lived in settled villages of longhouses covered with sheets of bark and with pitched roofs. The Dakota Sioux tribes were sedentary farmers,. not nomadic buffalo hunters.

Dakota is not the name of a single tribe but a language group; it consisted of the eastern or Santee Sioux tribes (Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton).
These tribes built large bark lodges similar to the longhouses of the woodlands tribes; each lodge had a covered porch outside its eastern door and sleeping platforms ranged along each side of a central passage. In winter some bands used wigwams covered with bark or mats of woven cattail fibres. Some of the more westerly hunting bands made Plains style tipis like those of their relatives the Lakotas.
That depends on which particular tribe of the Sioux you mean. The Sioux were divided into three dialect groups of tribes: Lakota, Nakota and Dakota - the Lakota or Teton Sioux were furthest west, the Nakota in the middle and the Dakota furthest east.
The Lakota or Teton tribes were the Oglala, Minneconjou, Brule, No Bows, Two Kettles, Blackfoot Sioux and Hunkpapa. These were nomadic buffalo hunters of the plains who only used tipis.
The Nakota tribes were the Yankton and Yanktonai. They used both semi-permanent earth lodges like the Mandan, and tipis when out hunting buffalo.
The eastern Sioux or Dakota were made up of the Mdewakanton, Wahpekute, Wahpeton and Sisseton tribes. They lived in bark-covered longhouses with pitched roofs, like many of the woodlands tribes.

Historically, the Pawnees built earth lodges like those of their relatives the Arikara and others used by the Hidatsa, Mandan, Oto and Omaha tribes.
An earth lodge was usually built over a large, shallow, circular excavation in the ground (so the floor was below ground level); in the centre was an arrangement of tall, strong posts connected at the top by horizontal posts. Then long, thinner poles were laid reaching from this central support to the ground in a circular shape; these were covered with branches and dried grass or leaves, then finished with a waterproof layer of clay. The finished structure had an entrance porch on the east side, making it look like a huge igloo of soil.
The Pawnee tribes also used small Plains-style tipis when out hunting buffalo.

The Cheyenne tribe used technology to build teepees that were able to be transported when the tribe moved around. They also used technology to produce clothes to keep them warm.

The Halchidhoma tribe used grass and mud huts for shelter. They were set up on stilts. More permanent shelters of this type were made of wood.
