They didn't "get along" with each other and certainly resented any other tribes competing for the same Natural Resources.

The marginally Plains tribes such as the Mandan, Hidatsa, Arikara, Omaha, Kansa, Pawnee and Missouri often left their permanent villages to hunt buffalo, when they would be attacked by the Lakota or Cheyenne. These marginal tribes were forced to rely more and more on their own agriculture as a result.

Some Plains groups had friends and allies away from the Plains; the Crow were usually friends with the Nez Perce, but dealings between the two tribes were infrequent and difficult.
