That depends on the time period.

In the early 1740s the Kiowas lived in the area of the Black Hills and were close allies and friends with the Crows - they picked up the thank-you word "aho" from the Crows and kept it in their own language. We do not know how long the Kiowas had been in that location prior to this time.

A short time later the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes moved into the same area near the Black Hills (perhaps about 1760) - they were forced to move by Sioux tribes armed with guns, who gradually became the dominant force in the Black Hills (certainly by the early 1800s).

So the Teton Sioux (Lakotas) claimed the Black Hills as their own "traditional" hunting and burial grounds, when in fact they had simply taken it over by force - just as later the white Americans did.
