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.
