The Lakota and Cheyenne people had distinct governance structures shaped by their cultural practices and social organization. The Lakota operated through a council system led by chiefs and elders, where decisions were made collaboratively among various bands, emphasizing consensus and communal values. In contrast, the Cheyenne had a more centralized leadership structure with distinct warrior and peace chiefs, who held specific roles in decision-making, reflecting their dual focus on warfare and diplomacy. These differences highlight the diversity in Indigenous governance practices among Plains tribes.

The Plains Indians, such as the Lakota, Sioux, Cheyenne, and Comanche, lived in the flat area in the center of the United States known as the Great Plains. They were nomadic tribes who relied on bison hunting for sustenance and followed the movement of the herds across the vast grasslands.
There were two tribes involved, although one is given more credit than the other; The Lakota Sioux and the Northern Cheyenne.
The Crow tribe's primary enemies historically included the Lakota Sioux, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes. Conflicts often arose over territory and resources, particularly as the Crow were located in the northern Great Plains, an area rich in game and resources. Additionally, as European settlers expanded westward, the Crow faced challenges from the encroachment of settlers and the U.S. government.
The Lakota, Cheyenne, and Arapaho tribes fought American military forces primarily to defend their lands, resources, and way of life against encroachment by settlers and the U.S. government. The discovery of gold in the Black Hills and subsequent westward expansion led to increased tensions, broken treaties, and military confrontations. These tribes sought to resist displacement and protect their sovereignty, culminating in notable conflicts such as the Battle of Little Bighorn. Their resistance was rooted in a desire to preserve their cultural identity and autonomy amid growing American colonial pressures.
